NORFOLK, Va. Cigarette litter is no small matter, and together with local partners, askHRgreen.org is taking a big approach to encourage Hampton Roads residents to stop dropping their butts.
From May 1 to 14, larger-than-life size cigarette butt sculptures will loom large in public spaces across the region. Coupled with an offer to provide free cigarette butt receptacles to area businesses, organizers of the #NoButtsAboutIt promotion hope the artwork will convince smokers to keep local landscapes and waterways cigarette litter-free.

Residents of the Woodville area in Hoppers Crossing fear it is only a matter time before hoon drivers accidentally kill someone in their neighbourhood.
A group of residents said drivers engaged in unsafe behaviour, including speeding, drag racing and doing burnouts and doughnuts on local roads at all hours.
The residents, who asked for only their first names to be used due to fears for their safety, also said monkey bike and dirt bike riders “plagued” the area’s parks and playgrounds.
The residents – Ron, Rebecca, Michelle and Frank – said that Woodville residents were “fed-up”.
“It’s not a matter of if but when someone is going to die as a result of the hoons in our area,” Rebecca said.
