One year ago, a guy in New Jersey named Jim Alturo decided he'd help clean up his town by walking around and picking up cigarette butts people tossed on the ground . . . and he ended up with over 24,000 of them.
The exact count was 24,185. And for each one, he decided to donate a penny to the American Lung Association. So that's $241.85. He says he knows it's not a significant amount of money, but "every penny helps."
