An Internet scan of available government and non-profit information for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia indicates that chewing gum and cigarette butts account for up to 95% of the litter generated in the English-speaking
world.

Here's a good resource :

If you scroll down to Source Reduction there's a link to "42 Ways to
Trim Your Holiday Wasteline"
and also one to a middle school curriculum on source reduction.

Oh My gosh! What an interesting piece of trivia! That and beer cans, and soda pop debris probably accounts for 99%. I have done adopt-a-highway before and it is amazing the amount of trash that roadside grass will hide. But it makes you feel so good when you are all done for the day! :D
