not biodegradable.
Each year, smokers worldwide deposit 4.5 trillion cigarette butts.
That's over 8 million every minute.
That's so many that if you stacked them on top of each other, end to end, they would stretch to the moon and back - 150 times.
It's a lose-lose situation. The butts discarded properly end up in landfills, where they... well, where they don't do anything. The cellulose acetate filters are not biodegradable.
The butts flicked onto the sidewalk or street find their way into storm drains, many of them washing into our waterways.
All the words in this quiz begin with "long". Adding another word to the end of long will create an entirely new word. I will give the meaning of the new word and you must indicate what word needs to be added.
