Showing the impact of 1 single cigarette butt
Thijs Biersteker
This interactive art installation, created by environmental artist Thijs Biersteker, makes the impact of one cigarette butt visible in a stunning but shocking way by pumping around 50 liters of water a day. The amount 1 butt pollutes the environment.
Researchers have uncovered that 1 cigarette butt pollutes 50 litres of water a day. 1 litre of water soaked with butts will kill 50 percent of all small ocean creatures in it. That is 3.4 ml of deadly water - a second coming from only 1 cigarette butt.
