Compostable is GOOD! \"Flowers or grass seeds\" is NOT!!
If I have \'sodded\' my front yard with a particular type of grass, then I do NOT want someone\'s cig. butt to give sprout to some OTHER type of grass!! Imagine how this would be COMPOUNDED for a business! If they landscape ACRES of grass around their buildings, they would HATE smokers who just throw their cig. butts out into the grass, shrubs, and flower-beds, and give sprout to \"WEEDS\" in their expensively maintained landscaping! They could even take root in the sewer systems, like around grates--where the debri collects in an area that still gets at least some sunlight. That would turn that DEBRI into a \'natural earthen dam\'! And it would be a HUGE problem for the maint. people!
So, make them dissolve into the earth, but DO NOT make them \"GROW\"!!

Really relivdallas? point 1, fair call. point 2, MOOT point, if a business has gone to that much effort to landscape their gardens, its safe to say that there will be someone maintaining it. Said maintenance people if doing their job should be on top of these MINOR issues, and the MORE important issues, like emptying my trash bin.
and i agree on your 3rd point, somewhat, honestly, growing is better than a landfill, that and make people more responsible for their rubbish, singapore has laws that mandate this, works well, raises revenue that goes to recycling and other social programs.

Why do DOUCHEBAGS that post messages to blogs do it BY CAPITALIZING every OTHER word? Is IT because they BELIEVE that CAPITALIZING every OTHER word, THEIR post has MORE meaning? By, sodded, THE POSTER above PROBABLY means he \'stared OUT THE WINDOW AT THE CONCRETE\' of his BASEMENT studio APARTMENT.

Why not put tobacco seeds in the butts?

What an awful idea. Invasive species much?

@Floyd so ALL those cig butts that are currently being tossed on manicured lawns, common areas, woods and sidewalks are okay \'cause there\'s no worry \'bout new knids of flora sprouting from them? sheeeeesh

what about all the cancerious crap in the butt that will still be in the ground where the filter was dripped... what a lazy idea... once smoking is banned it wont be an issue...

I would be surprised if these plants grew at all. Cigarette butts contain all the filtered toxins from the cigarette, including tar. Cigarette butts are a toxic pollutant to any soil. That\'s why there\'s never anything growing in an ashtray flowerpot.

Greenbutts does not condone littering, the idea is to encourage people to recycle their butts own their own property instead of send them to the landfill. Tobacco is a natural product, all of the additives that go into the tobacco and filter make the cigarette toxic! People all over the world are going to continue to smoke, why not encourage a company that is attempting to sove the problem....
