Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California. Over the last three and a half years, the antilittering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts(烟头)from the streets of her home city.
Called the "Butt Lady" by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city
of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.
"I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere," Sally Dawly said. "I'm just
shocked that I had to pick up so many. I've ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day," she said. "Don't throw away your butts, better yet, stop smoking.”
With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person's efforts really make a difference? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one-million-butt milestone.
Sally knows her city's cigarette butt littering problem won’t be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new, milestone in her sights——two million cigarette butts.
Word of the Butt Lady's efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.
Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.
People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a cross-sectional study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BMI. Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis（类风湿性关节炎）. Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension（高血压）than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic（心脏代谢）risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.
While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common
deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3
