Andrea Bakacs #1 Cause of Litter in NYC

Dec 14, 2009 09:12 pm

"Mommy, what are all those black blobs everywhere on the streets?" Well, Timmy-- you're about to find out.    Did you know chewing gum was invented in New York City? Back in 1871 Thomas Adams invented what we today call chewing gum. Only back then, it was completely natural and 100% biodegradable as it was made from the... Read More

I never thought chewing gum was bad until now. I had no idea it's made out of all that toxic stuff... that's really scary. Ew.

Very nice article. I don't think I've had a piece of gum in 10 years, but this will make me want to make natural gum in the business that I am forming. thank you for the article.

So, if we soaked those coffee cups in syntheticaly flavored vanilla, then cut them up in bight-sized, we could recycle the cups into gum, thenuse liquid nitrogen to freeze and then scrape up the gum, make new cups - and call it Yuck Recycling. Good story. Will never be able to chew Adams Black Jack gum again - sigh. Keep up gooey good work!

Hi Andrea, Great photography, and great cause. I have been an avid photographer sincew age 17 (many years ago). I mainly enjoy environmental and wildlife photography. I have always had a passion for expressing myself and the world around me through photography. I travel about six months out of the year so I get a good perspective of the country, and the world. You can view some of my work at the following site: http://www.panoramio.com/user/2145723

Being a graduate of NYU, (who took a few photography courses), and presently as Executive Editor at Earth Promise (http://www.earthpromise.com), I can appreciate the visual dedication you have for the environment. Thank you for being such an integral part of our much need change. Be sure to visit today's earth Promsie blog (http://www.earthpromise.com/blog/2009/08/28/photo-activism-using-a-green-lens/) as I featured your work.

Hi Andrea I have some fantastic Weather Photo's Mostly cloud Pictures at the Moment. That I believe are not only Unique in there specialness as a atmospheric wonder but a possible sign , from 'Mother' to take notice of the 'Beauty Shown' but at the same-time what we (as in us individually) leave behind, or create as nuisance for the Earth by not being more ECO-AWARE..

Hello Andrea, I am so glad I checked out your site!! You are saying what has been in the back of my mind for quite awhile!! I too am a photographer and my husband "travels" a lot with his job. Right now we are in Cordova, Alaska. The scenery is stunning and my head swims with all the "potential shots'! The issue I have noticed here is what I call RUST gardens. They have many years worth of dead vehicles just lining their properties b/c there is no way to dispose of them in such a remote spot. It is truly sad and I wish there was a way to convince an otherwise VERY great community that they are hurting their environment. This is a fishing industry so they rely on nature to support them. HELP!! What argument can I use to convince them? Suz
