Get your butt out of here. That’s the message of environmental group A Greener Future, which is bringing its fourth annual Butt Blitz to Barrie May 5. Volunteers collect cigarette butt litter, which is then transported to TerraCycle, a Toronto-based recycling company. Barrie’s cleanup starts at the Spirit Catcher and runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pocket ashtrays will be distributed by event co-ordinators. “Cigarette butts are highly toxic especially when they come in contact with water,” group founder Rochelle Byrne said. “They threaten the health of wildlife and contaminate our own drinking water. Removing littered butts from the local environment has so many benefits and is easy to achieve with the collective impact of the Butt Blitz."   Organizers say 22 communities will host events across the country.
