How about non-biodegradable carbon infused cigarette butts,
to help bury excess carbon in landfills, "have a smoke, save
the planet!" from global warming, while you kill
yourself (slowly), two birds with one stone, you'll also be
helping with
the population problem? |
|
|
They are, for a given value of 'are', it just takes a really
long
time. |
|
|
But they do look unsightly blowing around in the stairwell
when I open the front door. |
|
|
If they degraded into a suitable
mulch faster I could grow pansies in them, which would be
much prettier [+] |
|
|
Sorry, still recovering from Talk like a Pirate day. |
|
|
Yes, they are biodegradable, given enough time. |
|
|
They could be compostable and come
impregnated with flower seeds. |
|
|
It may be slightly baked though, I believe they're called cigars,
generally a bit bigger than an ordinary cigarette but the bit
you smoke
it through (the filter?) is as biodegradable as an ordinary leaf. |
|
|
Cig butts are (more or less) environmentally neutral : it's just fibreglass. The problem is unsightliness : so either make them explode or turn them into fake little flowers or something. Alternatively seed them with a substance attractive to seagulls who will eat them. |
|
|
Getting rid of all of the smokers is an alternative
solution that seems to have some upsides. |
|
|
Nasty, filthy habit if there ever was one. If Brooke
Shields were to proposition me and she had a
cigarette in her mouth, I'd run away in terror. |

|
|
May I draw your attention to my idea for non-biodegradable
carbon infused cigarette butts? |
|
|
Seems to tick all your boxes there.. |
|
|
Gets rid of them & has
upsides, albeit they do take a little while to die, lung
cancer
does need a good few years to ferment properly. |

|
|
I think we need a little more clarification there, circa when? |
|
|
& just for the control sample, how about if she didn't have a
cigarette, or was Don Johnson? |
|
|
//compostable and come impregnated with flower seeds// |
|
|
How about nicotiana tabacum, seems appropriate & they have
quite pretty pink flowers [linky]. |
|
|
//Biodegradable
What is this bio-wotsit (coughs heavily, rolls a
ciggie) |
|
|
But seriously, the filters are the same stuff in
sleeping bags, so by dint of keeping them you
can make a sleeping bag. |
