Limpiando mi colonia

I started by taking a a look around my neighborhood, I discovered there was a lot of cigarrette butts all over the streets, but really a lot. During my research in the web I found that each cigarrette butt contamine 50 liters of water. That caught my eye, actually in Mexico City and I think around the world we all are having troubles with the water. There's not water for everybody in the world.
I sold cans to afford some print materials, tape, nylon. Then with the support of my scouters and my familly I started placing some bottle of PET. I started to collect the cigarrettes butts by myself, everyday since January. My scouters helped me by posting in the social media. Saturdays we run a collection center in the Park Rio de Janeiro in Roma Norte, Mexico City to 4 pm to 6 pm.Next April 13th in the school of Medicine, they are gonna receive all the cigarrettes butts during an event.
- Each cigarrette butt pollutes 50 liters of water. - Fishes eat the cigarrettes butts that end in the sea, which is poison for then and for us, because we eat the fishes. -60% of smokers throw they own cigarrettes buts in the street - Cigarrettes Butts are a health and enviroment problem -18000 cigarretes butts are trowing apart each 24 hours - Cigarrettes Butts contain plastics, wich mean there are not biodegrable.
