Upstream Communities
It
takes hundreds of caring folks combing the sands each month to
rid Long Beach's coastline, however temporarily, of the street
run-off, debris and trash from 87 upstream communities. - Justin

Fact About Cigarette Butts
 When it rains, the water carries cigarette butts and trash via storm
drain systems and waterways right out to the ocean, where currents wash
it up onto the beach.
Dangers of Cigarette Butts
In addition to polluting streets and beaches, plastic pieces, such as
cigarette butts (cigarette butts are made of cellulose acetate, a form
of plastic) can pose a health hazard to animals. Marine animals can
mistake butts as food.
If plastic blocks their digestive track, animals
may become ill or even starve. Animals can also become entangled in
trash, which restricts their ability to eat, breath and swim, often
with fatal results.
