Technically nature made us and in time we made plastic, so technically nature made plastic... This is all just nature's fault! Kill it! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I think smokers are unaware, that cigarette filters are plastic. Plastic full of environmental toxins.

I don't smoke cigarettes anymore but when I did I was fully aware that the tips were disasters in terms of how long they take to break down and their pollution impact, which is why I'd never throw them anywhere that wasn't an ashtray or a bin.

Now joints, I've felt free to when it's just a bit of paper and organic matter that is pretty much already obliterated just by smooshing it with my shoe.

I don't smoke anymore either, but when I did I bought pure cotton filters that were biodegradable in case they left the bin somehow.
