This is such a good idea! Icons and story by Don’t Drop it, Taiwan (Chinese below)
We Are the Don’t Drop it_Team Taiwan – Small Actions, Big Impact
We are the Don’t Drop it_Team Taiwan, a group of children in Taiwan who have been working on cigarette butt issues and environmental protection since elementary school.
After discovering Green Map, a global platform for community mapping, we were inspired to bring our mission to the world and help more people take part in creating cleaner, healthier spaces.
To support this, we designed four new Green Map icons (illustrated by Pan) focused on cigarette butt awareness. These icons aim to:
-
Help smokers easily find legal smoking areas and reduce littering
-
Help non-smokers avoid smoking zones and reduce second-hand smoke exposure
-
Help local governments identify cigarette litter hotspots for better planning and action
These clear and easy-to-recognize icons can help more people understand how cigarette butts affect both the environment and our health—and show where smoking is or isn't appropriate.
We’ve also started the Don’t Drop it Alliance, hoping to connect with people and groups from different cities and countries. Our goal is to highlight small but harmful habits and pollution problems in everyday life.
🌿 You're welcome to use our cigarette butt icons when creating your own Green Map—join our mission here.

我們是不落蒂小隊，一個長期關注台灣菸蒂議題的兒童團隊，自小學起即倡議菸蒂減量與環境保護。
接觸 Green Map 全球地圖平台後，我們希望將行動擴展到國際，提升議題能見度與參與度。
我們設計了四款針對菸蒂議題的綠色生活地圖圖示（設計者：小雨蛙），應用目的包括：
-
協助吸菸者找到合法吸菸區，減少隨地丟棄；
-
幫助非吸菸者避開吸菸區，降低二手菸暴露；
-
提供政府單位辨識垃圾熱點，利於規劃與管理。
這些圖示具辨識性與明確性，旨在提升公眾對菸蒂污染與健康風險的理解，並促進行動。
目前我們成立「不落蒂聯盟」，希望與不同地區與國家的夥伴合作，擴大影響力，聚焦生活中微小但具破壞性的污染問題。
歡迎在繪製綠色生活地圖時使用我們的菸蒂 icon，關注我們並加入行動.
