About this campaign

This intervention works well where a light (rather than official) tone is generally used in communications. It proved very effective when trialled across a variety of formats using bins and street furniture in a busy shopping area to encourage people to think twice before dropping gum.

61% reduction in gum littering, when trialled around Saint David's Dewi Sant, Cardiff
