A new social experiment in a major city has residents talking—and some fuming. A local community group has started a “shaming” campaign for smokers who litter their cigarette butts on the sidewalk, using colorful signs and even a “hall of shame” photo board.
While the goal is a cleaner city, many are calling the tactics a bit too bizarre for comfort. From public callouts to elaborate sidewalk chalk art surrounding discarded filters, the methods are as strange as the problem they’re trying to solve.
