Yes, it is considered littering. Gum does not degrade the way other food products do. And it creates a sticky mess for any person or animal that gets into it. In some countries it is a criminal act to even have gum!

Is a t-shirt biodegradable?

Most T-Shirts are made of Cotton, and since Cotton is a Natural Fabric, it is biodegradable.
