Last Sunday, In Vancouver's downtown West End neighbourhood a group pushing for a one cent deposit on cigarette butts, collected, and paid out, on some 60,000 of the discarded stinkers  -- this was during the West End's Car Free Day -- fortunately, not Carr Free, because Vancouver's Green party City Councillor, Adriane Carr has now lent her voice to calls for a provincial cigarette butt deposit and refund program.  The more mundane problems, like under employment, affordable housing, drug addiction, and crime (petty to very organized), will just have to wait while everyone tackles the burning issue of cigarette butts.
