Litterbug Buttheads

As if you needed another reason to hate smoking, here it is...

This year, the 24th annual Coastal Cleanup Day drew 1,290 volunteers throughout SLO County. They collected 4,611 pounds of marine debris, including 2,970 pounds of trash and 1,641 pounds of recyclables.

The cleanup effort stretched over 70 miles, from San Simeon State Beach to Point Sal.

Statewide, 60,000 volunteers in 48 counties collected trash on 2,100 miles of shoreline.

The most alarming number is the cigarette butts — an astonishing 11,492 cigarettes and filters (who had the grueling job of counting those?), found at most of the beaches, especially Pismo Pier, along with cigar tips, tobacco packaging and a smattering of lighters.

Come on, you buttheads! People already hate you; this is not good PR.
