Since 2016, our volunteers have removed over 1.4 million pieces of litter from Lake Ontario's shores, and with your help, we’ll push past the next milestone!

As part of a national day of action organized by No Plastic Filter, we’re focusing this cleanup on cigarette butts—the most common and dangerous form of litter along our shorelines. They may be small, but they have a massive impact on water quality, wildlife, and public spaces.

We’re proud to be partnering with C-Tow, Canada’s trusted marine assistance provider, to protect the Great Lakes both on land and on water. Let’s work together to make cigarette litter a thing of the past.

Let’s leave the beach better than we found it—no butts about it! 💚

As part of the Floatable Waste Collaborative Action in Lake Ontario and Toronto’s Inner Harbour, this is a community science event aimed at categorizing waste collected from the waterfront. In addition to interactive outreach displays from organizations and collaborators of the Toronto Inner Harbour Floatables Strategy, the event will include a “Trash Trap Dive”.

This is a hands-on opportunity to participate in the Fighting Floatables waste characterization protocol for trash traps and learn about local sources of plastic pollution. During the Trash Trap Dive, the U of T Trash Team research team will demonstrate their waste characterization protocol and invite members of the public to observe and/or participate. Throughout the event, there will also be educational info tables hosted by the U of T Trash Team, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Swim Drink Fish, and a Greener Future.

Last year, the University of Toronto (U of T) Trash Team’s Fighting Floatables program removed 642 kg of plastic pollution from the Toronto Harbour, including more than 100,000 small pieces of plastic. By monitoring plastic pollution and other anthropogenic debris captured by trash traps, we’re better able to understand the issue and inform local solutions upstream.

By attending this event you’ll have the unique opportunity to:

• Learn about floatable litter and the types of plastic pollution we find in Lake Ontario.

• Get hands-on experience with our team of Fighting Floatables researchers and learn how we characterize all sizes of plastic pollution collected by trash traps.

• Learn how trash trap data informs upstream solutions to prevent plastic pollution we find downstream.

• Meet organizations of the Toronto Inner Harbour Floatables Strategy and learn more about our collective work at info tables throughout the event.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world—let’s change that together.
This July 5th, we’re proud to participate in No Butts Day, a nationwide initiative led by No Plastic Filter to raise awareness about the environmental impact of cigarette litter. Butts may be small, but their impact is massive—leaching toxic chemicals, harming wildlife, and polluting our water systems.

At A Greener Future, we’ve removed over 1.4 million pieces of litter from the Great Lakes region. On No Butts Day, we’re doubling down on one of the most persistent forms of pollution: cigarette butts. Through our Love Your Lakes program, we’ll be hosting three shoreline cleanups focused on removing toxic tobacco litter and spreading awareness about its harmful effects.

Since 2016, our volunteers have removed over 1.4 million pieces of litter from Lake Ontario's shores, and with your help, we’ll push past the next milestone!

What to Expect:

• All supplies and equipment provided

• An opportunity to meet like-minded community members
