Hold On To Your Butt
Eco-friendly cigarette disposal just got easier! Folly Beach is proud to be working in partnership with the Charleston chapter of the Surfrider Foundation on their campaign, Hold On To Your Butt!
The Charleston Surfrider Foundation is a grass-roots nonprofit protecting beaches, oceans, and waterways across the United States. Their mission is to protect waterways we love so dearly. The natural beauty of the coastline draws over 5 million visitors and $4.2 billion to Charleston each year. Our entire lives are built upon the amazing natural environment of Charleston. The biggest problem we face as a community is that pollution is endangering our beautiful home.
Thus the initiative, Hold On To Your Butt, was born! Cigarette buds are the most common litter found on beaches worldwide, and 98% of these cigarettes contain plastic fibers that are harmful to our wildlife. Hold On To Your Butt is a campaign that seeks to educate our community while working to keep our beaches clean and wildlife safe!
You may see new eco-friendly receptacles placed around Folly Beach for easy disposal. We ask that you join us in our effort to protect the place we love!
