The artist got a handful of street cleaners to pick up and collect cigarette butts shamelessly tossed on streets and with the help of a few helpers, created this piece of art. <\/p>\n<p>Though this rug won\u2019t satisfy your nicotine needs, it does make for a beautiful recycled innovation. The paper used in cigarette butts was unrolled and layered. The yellowish orange filter paper and the white cigarette roll form a pattern just like a textile rug. This would be a softer rug to tread on, had Jesus Bubu Negro have used the soft filter found in cigarette butts too! <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cigarette_butts_rug_2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/02\/cigarette_butts_rug_2.jpg?resize=450%2C338\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designboom.com\/weblog\/cat\/10\/view\/9684\/jesus-bubu-negron-cigarette-butt-street-rug.html\">Designboom<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoking is injurious to health.
