Large cigarette butts are showing up around Hampton Roads - but why? and last updated 2021-05-01 18:39:03-04 NORFOLK, Va. - Cigarette litter is no small matter, and together with local partners, askHRgreen.org is taking a big approach to encourage Hampton Roads residents to stop dropping their butts. From May 1st to 14th, larger-than-life size cigarette butt sculptures will loom large in public spaces across the region. Coupled with an offer to provide free cigarette butt receptacles to area businesses, organizers of the #NoButtsAboutIt promotion hope the artwork will convince smokers to keep local landscapes and waterways cigarette litter-free.
