The Gum Litter Taskforce (GLT) has been successful to date in changing the public\u2019s behaviour by encouraging correct gum disposal through a targeted education and awareness campaign. The 2018 campaign maintained an all-time high of 93% of people stating that they regard chewing gum as litter, up from 74% when the campaign first began in 2007.\u00a0 This points to the attitudinal impact which the campaign has had to date.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch, Leas Cathaoirleach Seamus Treanor said; \u201c<em>The Gum Litter Taskforce\u2019s gum litter education campaign is a fantastic initiative which harnesses community spirit and channels it towards achieving a common goal, that of ridding our streets of littered gum. I am delighted to see local communities from right across the county coming together again this year under the GLT banner in an effort to make a positive change within their respective localities. The GLT campaign has made some very positive inroads to date on this issue and I hope that the campaign will continue to do so again this year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3035\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/IMG-2006-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3037\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/IMG-2019-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"458\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3036\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/IMG-2018-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"471\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gum Litter Taskforce Launch 2019 On Friday 28th June 2019 in Monaghan Town, Leas Cathaoirleach of Monaghan County Council Seamus Treanor officially launched the Gum Litter Taskforce\u2019s gum litter education [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
