Starting New Year’s Day, you can still wear bikinis on the beaches of Miami Beach, but forget about showing any butts — cigarette butts, that is
People walk past a light sculpture titled Patria y Vida created by Cuban-American artists Ruben Millares and Antonia Wright, during Miami Art Week, Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022, in Miami Beach, Fla. The sculpture is named for the anti-communism protests in Cuba. It is meant to celebrate people's right to protest, using the barricades as a symbol of global resistance.
Miami Beach City Commissioner Alex Fernandez said he sponsored the measure to keep the city's beaches pristine and protect sea turtles, seabirds and other wildlife. According to the Ocean Conservancy, cigarette butts are the most commonly recovered item during coastal cleanup efforts.
