THE Gum Litter Taskforce Bin It! Roadshow visited towns in Kerry on Monday to drive positive behavioural change around attitudes to gum litter amongst students.
Throughout the week, students from St Brigid’s Presentation Secondary School, Presentation Secondary School Tralee, Intermediate School and CBS The Green will take part in the hour-long workshop, where they learn more about correct litter disposal and the important role, they can play in caring for the environment.
The Bin It! Roadshow is an integral part of the Gum Litter Taskforce’s (GLT) gum litter education campaign, promoting the responsible disposal of gum litter to schoolchildren through fun actor-led workshops and interactive learning materials.

For schools not registered for this year’s Bin It! Roadshow, the Gum Litter Taskforce will also continue to provide useful lesson plan material on its website, with materials made available to over 730 schools across Ireland to date.
The GLT education campaign also includes a roadshow that travels throughout the country in the summer months promoting responsible gum behaviours with the help of local authorities, TV and online advertising campaign, as well as an accompanying website www.gumlittertaskforce.ie.
