I hate chewing gum it should be banned!" This is the view of Sandra Bolton who lives near the lat university campus. "Look at the mid' It's covered in hundreds of pieces She was gum!" she was right ,there were hundreds M right, there were of small, black marks all over the road. Who does she blame? "Young people especially students, of course They chew gum all the time and then spit it out on the road.It's disgusting ! I really think we should ban chewing gum like they do in Singapore - that's very sensible. I know for a fact that it costs thousands of dollars to clean the roads. It is possible to get a fine if you drop litter, and chewing gum is litter. But, as Mrs Bolton explains,this doesn't happen very much.People don't realize how difficult and expensive it is to clean sidewalks and roads.Chewing gum is almost impossible to remove .It's just bad news.Mrs Bolton is not alone,the Tiananmen Square Committee also agree.They once spent more than $ 100,000 removing many pieces of chewing gum to clean the famous square.You can also get a fine for spitting gum in the square.Perhaps the best thing then is to tell people why it's so bad to spit gum on the road.Mrs Bolton disagrees .It won't work.Young people just don't care about anything these days.Kevin De Souza adds,And there are other reasons why gum is so bad.It can be a problem for small animals and birds.They think the gum is food but it can be dangerous : they can die after swallowing gum.Mr De Souza also hates finding gum on bus or train seats.I once sat on a piece of gum and it was impossible to remove from my pants.It's always on my shoes,too.The manufacturers make a lot of money from selling gum.They should pay for cleaning the roads - and my clothes.The last word is from Mrs Bolton,people also look horrible chewing gum with their mouths open.Everything about chewing gum is bad.what do you readers think ? Should we ban gum - or not ?
