  1. Research Findings of Australia's Most Comprehensive Butt Litter CampaignA joint KESAB environmental solutions, Philip Morris Ltdand Imperial Tobacco Australia initiative.

  2. Campaign Goals • To develop and implement a butt litter campaign embracing multiple communication elements. • To engage the smoking community to dispose of butts responsibly. • To form partnerships with stakeholders adding value to the campaign. • To conduct research and utilise findings to underpin ongoing campaign strategies .

  3. Campaign Elements • Research smokers views and perceptions. • Research and monitor campaign message. • Encourage stakeholders and partner participation. • Undertake litter research and monitoring. • Establish synergy with other litter reduction and enforcement strategies. • Implement, promote, and manage media.

  4. Why Butt Litter? • KESAB is the foremost litter education and campaign service provider in Australia. • KESAB conducts Australia’s leading litter count and trend index. • Identified that “blanket” litter campaigns were not reaching contemporary community. • Implement targeted litter strategies focusing on: - building & construction site litter & waste - convenience food packaging - cigarette butts

Research – An Integral Element Research included: • Assessment of key influences (1998) • Litter Counts and Monitoring (ongoing) • Southbank Butt Out Bin Trial (3 years) (’00 – ‘03) • Personal ash tray use and acceptance (2001) • Campaign and education message (2002) • Trail advertising campaign (Adelaide) (2003) • St Kilda advertising campaign (2003) • Snowfields (Kosciusko Park) (2003) • Canberra & SummerNats Event (2004) • Brisbane/Gold Coast Campaign (2004) • Attribution and value adding (2004)

  6. Value Adding Elements • Links to stakeholder initiatives (councils, catchment boards, business). • Media and public profile (events, newsletters etc). • Increased infrastructure and engagement (more bins). • Increased campaign dollar spend. • Measurable research findings (litter reduction and awareness).

  7. Please Butt It, Then Bin It. • Radio • Bus side panels • Free personal ash trays • Street theatre and interaction • Outdoor (mobile, major arterials, bus stops & billboards) • Environment Information Card and calendar • Stickers • Displays (shopping centres, councils, events) • Media and stakeholder interface and awareness • Develop and distribute campaign CD extension package

  12. Key Research Findings Smokers • Many smokers do not realise butts have an environmental impact. • Smokers realise butts significantly contribute to litter. • Littering behaviour is blamed on poor bin placement and design. • Over half of smokers said they would change disposal behaviour if they were made aware of the issue. • Many smokers do not believe fines or enforcement would change their bad habit. • Smokers believed education campaigns should be aimed at all litterer’s and must not be condescending. (They were already incurring increased wroth from the public). • More butt bins were needed - alongside existing litter bins - at entrances to large buildings/complexes - at bus stops and shelters

  13. Key Research Findings cont. Campaign Message • Campaign message must not “blame” smokers. • Message should have credibility. • The “Butt Out” message concept was totally rejected as suggesting smokers had no concerns. • Traditional outdoor “clean scenery” imagery was rejected as being soft and not connecting. • Humour (radio ads) were overwhelmingly accepted as refreshing alternative especially “stinky butt”. • Whilst guilt should play a role it was very much about presenting positive perceptions. • Younger respondents tended to have more bravado and liked the idea of shock and horror (squalid scenes of rubbish choking the world). • Scepticism and ignorance of the impact of butts was an issue. • Most respondents endorsed the campaign concept. • The message should include an environmental focus.
