The Editor,
As we head into what is probably going to be a hot dry summer, I am writing to remind people about the dangers of tossing cigarette butts out of car windows.
I pick up litter on Bedwell Bay Road near Sasamat Lake, and am concerned by how many cigarette butts there are by the side of the road.
Last summer, I found one that had left black scorch marks in the grass around it.
It would not take much to start a fire in this area.
Please carry a container in your car, or a pocket ashtray, and dispose of your butts at home.
