When people call Sally Dolly of Sacramento the Butt Lady, she’s OK with that.
Because she is.
KOVR, the CBS O&O in Sacramento, Calif., aired this story about a local woman who goes around picking up discarded cigarette butts. And she keeps count of every one.
In the past seven months, she’s collected and disposed of 100,000 butts.
Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter, as an estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are thrown away every year worldwide.
I did the math and figured it would take her 22 million years to collect a year’s worth.
But you have to admire her determination.
