#ThrowAwayYourGum, Recycling Initiative in Argentina · Global Voices
Gabriela García Calderón Orbe

In some streets of the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires, pink boxes have appeared specially for bubble gum to keep public spaces clean. The gum collected can be recycled in items such as rubber boots and sandals, among other things.
On Twitter, some users thought the initiative was a good idea, while others were skeptical:
Cada día arrojamos 650.000 chicles al suelo en CABA. Ahora tenes los bins para tirarlos ahí! #GUMPoint @BACiudadVerde

Each day we throw away 650,000 pieces of gum on the ground in Buenos Aires. Now you have the bins to throw them in there!
