Today started with me nearly opting to chew a chewing gum on the way to work, trivial I know but I believe this to be one of the most annoying, visible wastes aro
und outside and in... this said i still enjoy the odd chew! But what are we supposed to do with the left over after we have chewed it for a while? Swallow....i'm sure there are medical facts that state that this is not healthy, make something useful (see pic of pink chewing gum sculptures, i'm not sure i can make this in 1 week!) or throw away? The latter is almost always the choice as i'm sure it is not biodegradable! However doing some research I found this interseting company- http://www.chewinggumbin.com/, perhaps we should have more of these on our streets to save money for Local Authorities to pay to clean it up??
Also today saw our 2nd day of a member of staff bringing in a snack- today was Jo's day and she brought in a lovely home made apple pie- it was lovely!
We had a look into our bins today and with the odd bit of sellotape there were some polystyrene blocks from the packing of ink toner that we had received for our printer. Luckily Sara was on the ball and she has taken this home to recycle and use in her plant pots to help irrigation.Thats all for today! Sian

Hi Sian - Sounds like you've had a great day and those chewing gum sculptures look amazing. It's worth getting in touch with your district council to see if you can get those bins on the street. I saw them featured over at My Zero Waste site a few months ago and they sound fab. You should be able to compost the sellotape as it's often made from cellulose. Good luck with the rest of the week :-D
