They are the new menace! We are using them at a rate of 3 million per minute, each and every minute. Our provincial and federal governments need to wake up !!! www.plasticstoday.com/medical/are-face-masks-keeping-us-safe-polluting-oceans-projecting-our-politics-or-all-above?fbclid=IwAR3VEzJnWdXew7S_bfrkDVMQPkbA7j6bPufIw9qOX6iMVeJsIsiAfG8kilE
For months and months, I have been tallying the number of face masks and gloves I have picked up off the sidewalks, streets, or in nature. I had been entering the number of masks and gloves that I had picked up each day as a comment, into a digital calendar, in my gdrive. Today, we calculated all the masks and gloves I have picked up. My calculations are slightly off. I have actually picked up more masks and gloves than I thought.
In total, as of today, Jan 12th, 2021, I have picked up 13,356 face masks and 1429 plastic gloves since our first lockdown ended. Freaking crazy! |
