Last Friday, 4 residents of Dénia, belonging to the Sustainable Culture Dénia organization, undertook a symbolic collection of cigarette butts to expose the dirt that causes the disinterest or neglect of smokers.
In total, some 2700 butts were removed in the Calle Marques de Campo in an hour and a half for these volunteers. The aim of this day, according to what the protagonists tell us, was to raise awareness among smokers so that they stop throwing cigarette butts on the ground.
"The important thing is not to get dirty because no matter how much it is cleaned we are not going to deal with the cause of the problem no matter how much cleaning is done in the mornings organized by the City Council", they express from Dénia Sustainable Culture, affirming that "smokers do not respect and continue to throw butts where they want".

They invade the street in an abusive use of public space. You have to ask for it usually because it is rare that they have it.
