Chewing gum pollution is everywhere.


Thank you, Joe Brucker, for your following thoughts on chewing gum pollution. Joe wrote:

"With the average person chewing 300 pieces of gum per year it's hard not to ask yourself, "Where does all this chewed gum go when the consumer has savored the last bit of flavor from their stick of gum?"

Chewing gum pollution. Unwanted gum full of germs and bacteria
ends up on the streets.

The answer is simple. The remains of chewed gum can be found on the streets, on airplane leather seats, park benches, and sticking to the bottom of our shoes on a hot summer day. Chewed pieces of gum are often placed inbetween library books, stuck to the backside of our most expensive jeans, and just about anywhere else an irresponsible gum chewer decides to spit out their finished piece of gum.

Unfortunately, we blindly trample over thousands of chewed pieces of gum that decorate the sidewalks and streets of our neighborhoods without any concern for what it is doing to the landscape of our planet. It would be hard to find a city where you could not play connect the dots with discarded chewing gum glued to the sidewalk.

People from all over the globe have come together to bring gum pollution awareness to their neighborhoods and cities but you do not need an entire city to start making a difference. Having a product like WraperZ in your back pocket to correctly discard your old chewing gum, and keep it off the bottom of our shoes, is something all avid gum chewers can do to help keep gum off our streets."

This is an interesting case of littering. A 12 year old gets caught spitting his used gum out of the moving vehicle. He claims he spat it out because it didn't taste good. Ok, I understand that. We all get rid of our gum when we are done chewing it. That's not anything unusual. What warrants a conversation though is the fact that he didn't think of disposing of it properly and responsibly. 

The boy's mother doesn't seem to recognize her son's poor decision either and she calls the entire process silly. Is the process really silly? Or is it the lack of understanding and awareness regarding littering and polluting? When has it become acceptable to spit gum out on a street or out of the window of a moving vehicle? Littering is punishable by law in some cities and countries. Yet some people still choose to ignore it and when they get caught, they get upset and blame the system or the process. 



It's time to take some responsibility and modify our littering behavior. Wrap your gum before tossing it. WraperZ, an environmentally friendly chewing gum wrapper is a perfect solution for tossing your gum in a responsible way.

It's time to stand up to chewing gum pollution and make a difference one chew at a time.
