| the big butt clean up |
|
General Description of Activity Clean up your favorite park or picnic spot and get rid of dirty cigarette butts! Check with the city, town, or county to make sure it’s okay to perform the clean-up, then hand out flyers and advertisements about what you intend to do a couple of weeks beforehand. Recruit some friends as volunteers and assign each one a specific area of the location to clean. Collect cigarette butts in garbage bags and count them along the way. Present the garbage bags full of cigarette butts to a local public figure such as a mayor or county commissioner and contact the media to be there so they can announce the event to the public. You can announce how many cigarette butts you picked up when you hand them over.
Materials Needed Garbage bags and gloves are needed at a minimum. You may also want a Raze banner to place in the background for media interviews.
Best Place to Perform Commotion City, county, or state parks, walking trails, or roadsides littered with mostly cigarette butts.
Estimated Number of Teens Needed As many as you can get!
