This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What is a "portable cigarette butt container"?

Its an airtight container that you can fit in a semi-large pocket, which works as an ashtray, and you put cigarette butts in it.

In Japan, littering is extremely frowned upon, there are basically no public ashtrays, it is pretty common for smokers to stash their butts in these containers and then empty them out later.

Very different from the norm in much of the rest of the world where people just litter cig butts everywhere, toss them into garbage cans and start fires.

Here's a cheap one on amazon.

That is actually amazing. This needs to be standard fare everywhere.

Probably easier to get people to stop smoking than stop littering.

Portable sealable ashtray

A analogue film container was my go for this use.
