Suddenly, cigarette waste becomes a valuable resource, and butts practically disappear on their own.
This novel cigarette butt deposit model is thoroughly explained and discussed in this book. A contribution to a better environment and greater sustainability. Read this book, share it, and one day, this vision might become reality.
