A Nameless Heroine

I want to send big ups to the brave woman waiting at the Tamaki Road while there was a heavy traffic jam due to an accident on yesterday.

Seeing someone drop a ciggie butt out their car window, she jumped out of her car, picked up the smouldering toxic trash and gave it back to the unthinking swine! That is something I've wanted to do for decades but haven't had the guts.

I believe, aside from being disgusting, cigarette butts are made of plastic and don't decompose. They definitely contribute 1.5 billion kg of plastic to our landfills, waterways and oceans globally every year.
