I didn't realize it's that bad: "The presence of cigarette butts in soil reduces the germination success and shoot length of clover by 27 per cent and 28 per cent respectively, and in grass, germination success was reduced by 10 per cent and shoot length by 13 per cent, according to the new study published in the journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety. "

I'm not a smoker and I hate when people throw cigarettes butts in the grass, on the ground, etc. Unfortunately this form of ignorance of some people costs even more people to suffer in the future.

Is this for real?

I think 12 years is pretty bold. It's such a long time, while there might happen a lot of things. Anyway, this article seems more like a marketing press release thought by IKEA marketing team.

I'm sorry. Such an irrelevant data. I mean, we have bigger problems in this world that need to be solved. So, no, I never wonder how often men & women cry in different countries.

Facebook will of course bend over and do exactly as it is told by these people, being far too scared of losing its "progressive liberal" reputations which is, in reality, a long way from the truth. Attempt to criticize these countries with their savage and primitive religious cultures and you will find yourself pretty bloody sharpish.

This went so viral! I can't open my FB page without seeing this million times..

"Facebook’s instincts here are understandable, but also worrying. It finally recognizes its power and the ways in which that power has caused problems in the world, but its instinct is to wield that power even more, rather than back off. Given that Facebook seems unlikely to police itself, it’s up to its users and other organizations to start to exert pressure for it to do so."

I wish more countries follow the example.

Wow! 27,000 followers in a few hours! More please! My favorite is this one: "Advocating for climate science and environmental protection is the most pro-life you can be. The future of the planet depends on it. #resist"

The numbers were quite unexpected.

Such an incredible work of art! After reading this article, I still can't imagine how he bears those harsh conditions.
