Answer 3

Chewing gum is bad for the environment for many reasons. First of all, gum wrappers are left on the ground and in our environment, when it should be put in a garbage. Secondly, gum has rubber in it, which is bad for the environment. There is a new type of gum called Glee Gum that is an eco-friendly gum, which instead of rubber has a sap from a tree, which is how gum was made a long time ago, dating back to the ancient greeks. I recommend using that gum instead. Finally, if you search it up on the internet, you can find out where gum holders are - garbages specifically made for throwing out gum. I hope this helped.
