CHAPTER I: THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
A. Introduction
Our country is facing great problems with regards to different wastes in our surroundings that we can actually see around us. Nowadays, cigarette butt litter is not only unsightly, but it introduces toxins into the water and soil. Recycling cigarette butts is a great way to turn these polluting chemicals into something useful. There are many hazardous chemicals in our environment; most of them can be located inside our own homes. Almost every household would consist of cleaning liquids like liquid detergents, mildew removers, insecticides and many other harmful chemicals; that is the reason why we decided to focus this investigatory project on creating an environment friendly insecticide preparation with no cost using only recycled cigarette butts. The problem of the modern world is that we have produced different expensive and hazardous products that can harm our environment. Our investigatory project aims to create an environment- friendly insecticide using recycled cigarette butts. With this investigation, we hope to find the answer to our problem; “Can we be able to create an environment- friendly insecticide from recycled things?” Hopefully, it is possible that we can now be able to help be a factor of the movement against pollution.
Insecticides are often expensive but with this experiment; the group will be finding an alternative from insecticides that can help reduce the wastes in our surroundings. As an alternative, we will be creating a household insecticide that made out of common materials that can be easily found in our homes. Cigarette butts can be
