As part of its Drain Campaign, the Ullapool Sea Savers, a local marine group based in Scotland, has teamed up with Megan from the ‘No Ifs No Butts’ campaign, the Highlands and Islands Climate Hub, and local business, The Ceilidh Place to secure three ‘ballot bins’ for the village of Ullapool. The bins ask the public to ‘vote’ with their cigarette butts, by disposing of them in one of two slots underneath a question. This encourages people to dispose of their butts properly rather than littering them on the streets and in drains, where they make their way into the sea and release a cocktail of chemicals and microplastics into the environment.
