  • So many people don't realise the reality of cigarette waste.

    "It's just one small butt" adds up to:

    • 4.5 TRILLION butts littered globally each year - - Enough to circle the Earth 300 times if placed end to end

    "It's just paper and cotton" - NOPE:

    • The filter is plastic (cellulose acetate)
    • Contains over 15,000 plastic fibres
    • Takes up to 14 years to break down
    • Even then, it just becomes microplastics

    "Rain will wash it away" - Yeah, right into:

    • Storm drains
    • Rivers
    • Oceans
    • Fish (they mistake them for food)

    "At least it's not toxic" - Actually:

    • One butt can contaminate up to 40 liters of water
    • Contains arsenic, lead, nicotine, and other toxins
    • Kills fish, birds, and other wildlife
  • Right, I'm very conclusion oriented. So while I might know that I did validly get to a certain view or conclusion, I don't always know well enough why to the point I can explain it to others or argue with someone about it.

    This can even be something as simple as why I chose one product over the other. I know I had good reasons for choosing the laptop I did when I bought it, but if you ask me what specifically about it made me choose it over another I probably can't tell you.

  • 5c is our smallest coin in Australia so all transactions work this way.

    If I have to use up some cash at a self serve machine but I don't have enough to cover the whole thing, when I do the debit card portion of my split payment I make sure to leave 2c extra.

    So if it's $12 and I have to use up a $5 note I'll split pay $6.98 on my debit, the machine will ask for the other $5.02 and will round down when I put in the $5 note.

    No I don't actually care about the 2c but I'm having to type in a split pay number regardless so figure why not.
