Put your gum in the bin

Here's something to chew on.
In the UK, we spend about £150m every year cleaning chewing gum off the streets.

(If we didn't do this, our streets would be clogged up with people whose shoes were stuck to the pavement, cursing and swearing at each other like a bunch of swaying punch bags.)

What could we do with that £150m ?

Not much.

Build 3 hospitals, maybe. Employ 8 and a half thousand teachers.

Want to do something about it in your area?

Start by telling people the startling facts. Then you may want to apply your energies to making a difference in your local area. Starting with schools perhaps?

Take action
If you like the action, why not give it a go? We don't want you to spend hours trying to find out how to get started on each action, so we've got some ideas here.
