But! But!

My walk home from work takes me past one of our local pubs where an outdoor area has been set up for those who wish to fill their lungs with their favourite tobacco smoke. It's a spot just above the footpath and an ideal height from which to flick butts once the cigarette is finished. The footpath is littered with them. I've no beef with that really - I can walk over them without any effort but what does concern me is that when it rains or blows, as it can sometimes do out here in Riverton, those butts roll into the gutter. 2 metres downhill of the pub is a stormwater drain, covered by a grill that is too coarse to keep butts out, so they swish through easily and flow with the water down to the estuary below. Cigarette butts are very toxic units and should be disposed of somewhere that is not home to flounder, whitebait and other fishable creatures.
Something must be done and I will do it.
