Results of the Arcata Plaza Butt Litter Survey

Buttlittercollage

Here are the results of cigarette butt litter cleanup survey on the Arcata Plaza on August 9, 2011. 

 

The break down is as follows:

 

A total of 2271 cigarette butts were collected on and around the Arcata Plaza yesterday. 1768 butts were collected around the plaza (business side of streets), including 1,404 (79%) on 9th Street in front of the bars.  The other business sidewalks had about 121 each (evenly distributed).

 

439 butts were on sidewalks around the actual plaza side of street.  Most of these (81%) were on 9th Street across from the bars (210 or 48%) and along the G Street side of the plaza (146 or 33%).

 

64 butts were collected from the interior portions of the plaza, including around benches, walls and planter boxes.  There were many more butts in planter boxes however, collection was stopped for safety reasons following discovery of a broken glass pipe in the box on the northwest corner of the plaza (9th and H).

 

These figures are similar to those from the butts litter cleanup conducted in March of 2010.  Last year 1,817 cigarette butts were collected.  80% were collected along 9th Street, and 50 butts were recovered from the interior of the plaza.          

Another 1068 butts were counted on G Street between 15th and the foot bridge, including both sections of the foot bridge up to the Humboldt State University campus border.

Join us Tuesday August 9th for a Butt Litter Clean-up

    Arcata Plaza
    Tuesday August 9th
                            1:00-4:00 P.M. 

Tobacco Free Humboldt, the Tobacco Education Network and United Indian Health Services are clearing the Arcata Plaza of cigarette litter. 

We will carefully document the number and location of all those little packets of toxins we call cigarette butts.  The data will be shared with our community and can really make a difference in creating a cleaner, healthy environment for us all.

See the attached flyer for details and give us a call.  Pass this along to anyone you think may be interested in keeping our watershed free of tobacco debris. 

Gloves and supplies provided on site. Free T-shirts for all our volunteers~

Watch the video made by the Northern California Indian Development Council to learn more about how these surveys work to make a difference!

About

The goal of the Northern California Indian Development Council's Tobacco Program is to introduce students to the dangers associated with the abuse of commercial tobacco in order to prevent future generations from becoming nicotine addicts. Our program highlights the tactics used by the big tobacco companies to manipulate people into smoking/chewing. Numerous studies have shown that 90% of all smokers began their habit prior to reaching the age of 18. By educating our youth against such trickery, our goal is to keep them from falling victim to the number one preventable cause of death and long-term illness in Indian Country. For those already addicted to nicotine, we offer culturally relevant smoking cessation classes and counseling. Visit us at http://www.ncidc.org/tupe/.
