Cigarette butts are a very big little problem - with some 8 Billion littered every year in Australia alone. Butts are also NOT biodegradable and are actually plastic, and can take up to 15 years to break down - albeit not before leaching some very nasty chemicals into the environment and/ or ingested by wildlife. After witnessing the devastating impact of discarded cigarette butts on beautiful locations around the world, Shannon was inspired to resign his corporate role and dedicate himself to No More Butts. We delve into this big little problem and Shannon's plans for "a butt free environment".

This is the first of our two-part chat with Shannon, with the second (and final) part released next week.
