You Can Win Money By Helping the Environment

DoSomething.org and truth, a national anti-tobacco educational campaign, want you to GTFO… “Get The Filter Out,” that is! This new initiative aims to clean up cigarette butts to prevent damage to our environment. According to the campaign’s website, cigarettes are the most littered item on earth with about 1.69 billion pounds of cigarette butts becoming toxic trash each year.

But now you can help! By signing up, you’ll get facts about cigarette butt litter, tips on how to prevent it from harming our environment and a free action kit to clean up cigarette litter in your community. You’ll also get the chance to win a $10,000 scholarship. Sounds like a win-win to us!

Sign up today and stop cigarette litter! This campaign ends September 30th.
