It's easy to moan about the bad times we live in and to say that there is no chance to change things because everything is connected worldwide.

BUT...all of us can make contribute to a better world by only changing little things in their everyday lives.
Inspired by the project "We Are What We Do" we have started to publish our own ideas how to change things for the better.

"Chewing gums are moving by the world"

How high the costs for the cities are for the cleaning of the streets isn´t mostly known. The remove of one chewing gum from the streets takes 2 minutes. It costs 1 euro per chewing gum. In the streets you see many black ugly spots which aren´t to be removed with the normal methods. In Germany amount the costs round 900 million euros. The most chewing gums are finding in front of the restaurants, because they want to depose their gums before they eat.

Also at bus stops you can see the same picture. Very many chewing gums are paste at the ground. Even in front of dustbins, because many people wants to put the gum in but they don´t hit the dustbins.


It is so easy to get chewing gum stuck to your clothes and shoes because discarded gum seems to get everywhere - bus and train seats, playgrounds, car parks and on every street. So what are the best methods of removing chewing gum?

The project in the UK is the first step I think. Put your gum in the bin.

Its a very good idea and this is in Germany possible, too. So we can save a lot of money. This money can we use for new hospitals or employ many people in different jobs.


Solving the chewing gum problem isn't about cleaning gum off pavements. It's about changing people's behaviour so that they will put their gum in a bin.
