 | When gum is dropped on the floor,
someone has to get it up - this someone is usually accompanied by at
least one other someone and they would more than likely turn up in some
gas guzzling diesel vehicle, spewing out huge volumes of CO2.
Then using steam (a big contribution to warming gases) the gum is
loosened.
How do they get the steam - well usually using a petrol driven generator
or indeed directly from the mains electric. Both methods are also likely
to produce Carbon Dioxide.
How long does it take to clean up a typical high street, well if a 90%
clean up is carried out then usually the best part of a day. This means
that someone and the other someone are going to need lunch and tea
breaks, more kettles full of water, steam and possible propane gas. Also
if its a cold day an engine that is left on to keep them warm, will
obviously help to keep the planet warm as well. |

| The

GUM way means almost no pollution,
no global warming but also it means that the B4G Cleaner has a nice 40
minute walk and becomes a lot healthier and happier. They are also less
likely to moan about how horrible their job is - moaning is known to or
is at least suspected to increase CO2 output by 50% from a
disgruntled employee than a happy one who doesn't Huff and Puff. |
| By the way did we mention that it
hopefully could cut down on complaining by members of the public who
have just got gum stuck on their clothes or shoes, or are simply fed up
of seeing black spots everywhere on their nice new pavements. |

GUM stop gum dropping completely -
well the honest answer is NO but it can reduced by 70 -80%. This is why
we give the Public free advertising and Education - Every bin carries
the same message plain and clear. |
