When in Rome…don’t spit out your gum<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Officials are asking visitors arriving on flights to Rome<\/a><\/strong> to think twice before carelessly spitting out their chewing gum. Meanwhile, a new Roman campaign launched on Tuesday aims to clear the sticky stuff from city streets and historic sites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bubble gum crusade started at historic Largo Argentina, home to four ancient temples.\u00a0 Volunteers there from the organization “Noi Per Roma” (translated to “Us For Rome<\/a><\/strong>“) donned gloves and used a little elbow grease to clear gum from walls and pavements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to a report in the Montreal Gazette, more than 15,000 sticks of gum are discarded on the streets of the city every day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new campaign is just one of many aimed at cleaning up Rome which in the past has been criticized for cleanliness.<\/p>\n
