What new invention could help keep city streets a little bit cleaner?

Answer: biodegradable cigarette filters

Made by Greenbutts, the biodegradable cigarette filters will be available in early 2014. The company’s mission is to reduce the pollution caused by cigarette butts, while providing a “high-quality smoking experience.” The filters can biodegrade in weeks, rather than the decades it takes ordinary cigarette filters.
