Nice, right? Ick.
I was reading 6th Street Design School yesterday (one of my new fave blogs, by the way) and saw this new idea for corralling gum before it hits the sidewalk. Check out the Gumnetic Bubble Gum Bin:
Gumnetic is a material created by Anna Bullus from used chewing gums and bio resin. So not only does the Bubble Gum Bin collect gum, it's also made from it. That's definitely recycling at its best. These round gumball-like bins should be put on street corners around the world - and hopefully that'd mean I'd never step in gum again.
I drunkenly spit my gum out on the street Saturday night. I feel bad now.
