Photos of two seabirds, including a chick, clutching a used cigarette butt in their beaks in Florida, draw attention to the plight of wildlife on polluted beaches.

She said the adult bird probably picked up the butt in shallow water and then shared it with the chick."This could have been a child, too. What we are doing to our Earth may not affect you but it will affect our grandchildren," she said.

According to NBC News, cigarette butts are the single largest source of ocean rubbish, with more than 60 million collected from beaches since 1986. Trillions of cigarettes are manufactured every year and most of them have filters, which are made from a form of plastic.
