Quit the gum! Did you know that you are basically chewing on plastic? Yep, most chewing gum contains polyvinyl acetate (a type of plastic) which is what makes it chewy. Apart from chewing on chemicals, do you ever consider when it goes next? Over 100,000 tons of gum is discarded every year and 80–90% of this is not disposed of properly making it the second most common form of litter after cigarette butts! There are plenty of alternatives for sweeter breath, here's just a few!

Chicza
Chicza is the only 100% certified Organic, biodegradable, and sustainable chewing gum.
* As an aside, I was concerned about the inner metallic wrap, but found it was made from Polyolefins. Polyolefins are produced by non‐toxic monomers such as ethylene and propylene and due to the minimum pollution impact during production and use and low‐thermal capacity during processing, have achieved a recognized “Green image”.

Vermints
Organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, nut-free, AND kosher mints.Yum!
Simply Gum
Using natural ingredients - better for your body, biodegradable and better for the planet. Gum and mints in a variety of flavors.

A Mint Leaf
Go Au Naturale and buy some fresh mint. Looks pretty, tastes great and you can make a mean mojito now summers coming!
