Keeping our Environment clean is a very popular topic in today's society. One product that negatively affects our environment is Chewed Chewing Gum waste...here's how:

1. Many different types of chemicals are used to try and rid a surface of chewed chewing gum. The gum and those chemicals are then rinsed off, travel down the drains and run into the ocean
2. Some of the chemicals used to break up the chewing gum wads give off a harmful or offensive smell/odor.
3. Chewing gum is not digestible. Not for humans and not for any living creature in the air or sea.
4. Chewing gum is not biodegradable and will stick to its surface for many, many years until treated.
5. Birds (especially young birds) have died by eating chewing gum. Chewed chewing gum is not an isolated problem that only one city or state is facing today.

Chewing gum is a worldwide problem and is costing businesses and taxpayers millions of dollars a year to clean up?

FACTS:

1. Annually, there is over 650,000 metric tons of chewing gum produced (2005 statistic) every year. It is predicted that in the next 5 years, over 1 million metric tones of chewing gum will be produced.
2. There are over 374 trillion sticks of chewing gum made every year (not including bubble gum balls/chiclets.
3. Did you know that 374 trillions sticks of gum stacked on top of each other is approximately 2,305,800 miles high.
4. Next to cigarette butts chewing gum is the second largest littering item in the world!
5. The average person chews over 300 pieces of chewing gum a year. Bacteria/Germs: Scientists know of 1,600 species of bacteria. Bacteria are all around and can be caught through coughs, sneezes, dirty hands, contaminated foods, chewed chewing gum and a sick person’s body fluids.

How many times have you or your kids accidentally put your hand/fingers on an old piece of chewing gum that was stuck under a table or chair at a restaurant? Have you ever had a piece of gum stick to your pants or shoe?  You will find those nasty black gum wad spots on the sidewalk or in front of your business entrance. Have you ever run over a piece of gum with your car on a hot summer day and watch it splat all over the side of your vehicle?

Did you know...Chewing gum increases in value after it is purchased: Chewed chewing gum is more valuable after it is chewed, than before when it is sold in a store. By the time the gum is chewed and ends up on the pavement, a piece of gum increases in value by up to 15 times. A pack of gum (15 sticks to a pack) would cost approximately $1.39 (each stick's net worth is $0.09). Each stick would cost approximately $1.50-$3.00 to clean up. You do the math...that is approximately $25 per pack of gum to clean up off the sidewalk, in front of your business entrance, at a church, school, movie theatre, airplane etc. As you can see, chewed chewing gum is a very big problem and has really never been addressed in a proactive manner…UNTIL NOW!
