The problem concerning with chewing gums is when it dropped onto pavements and it sticks firmly to surface until it dries. The pictures above taken along the Queen Street in the Auckland city. Even the rubbish bin are located everywhere in the city, still certain people dispose their chewing gum irresponsibly. It creates unpleasant atmospheres around the city. Empirically, based on the pictures above, it may due to structure of the rubbish bin that is not convenient to all people and barely to access, which lead to people throwing the chewing gums irresponsibly. To eradicate chewing gums from pavements are costly as it utilises special equipment (steam and certain chemical under high pressure). However, as proposed in the article prepared by Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (2003), to remove the chewing gums from pavements could trigger damage to the surface material due to high pressure used. Additionally, the chemical used, also could pollute the air surroundings. Likewise, it could also harm animals such as birds, which chewing gum may stick at it feathers. Numerous initiatives are made to cut dropping chewing gums in public space such as fines and restricting the sales of chewing gum. However, this issue still remains upsurge until today. Even we do an intervention on how it affects the nature; it is seems impossible to make this matter
