I used to chew gum when i first gave up smoking but used to spit it into the gutter or drain rather than on the pavement (if there were no litter bins around) they are now calling for manufacturers to make biodegradable gum to make it easier to clean up, wouldn't it be better to educate those that spit it on pavements rather than try to make it easier to clean once they have?
Wrigley, which sells the vast majority of the chewing gum sold in this country, pays around £600,000 to an organisation called the Chewing Gum Action Group to keep streets clean – but the real cost is closer to £60m - i newspaper.
