Want a lush green healthy looking lawn? Invite your tobacco-loving pals over to flick their butts all over your yard. Throw a thin layer of soil overtop and, in no longer than it takes to get that stale cigarette smell out of your clothes, you’ll have a lawn that’ll make your neighbors green with envy.
How is this miracle possible? It’s all thanks to the technology of Green-butts, a San Diego-based company that aims to eco-fy smoking by offering up a filter embedded with flower seeds.
While I confess a certain gee-whiz factor – I mean, c’mon, cigarette butts that do my gardening for me? – I nonetheless award Greenbutts eco-wanker of the week for overlooking the fact that smoking should never be greenwashed.
