Every piece of litter has a story — and a cost

Litter is one of the most visible environmental problems, and one of the most solvable. A dropped bottle or a discarded cigarette butt seems small, but multiplied across a city or a coastline it harms wildlife, pollutes water, and costs communities dearly to clean up. The Museum of Litter is an independent resource that explains why litter matters and, more importantly, what ordinary people can do about it.
