The New Green Gum....

My main question is that supposedly the gum comes from a tree deep in the Mexican Rainforest. For some reason I can’t imagine the actual cutting down and processing of these trees being very “green”. Then again the gum will be purchased from various Co_Ops so I guess that means we will be seeing them in Trader Joe’s soon…
