Three million face masks are discarded every minute as a result of mass adoption during the coronavirus pandemic.
Production of face masks is now on par with plastic bottles, at around 43 billion items a month.
Experts warn it could soon lead to environmental catastrophe.

They ordered too many from China, realised Trump had achieved the Trump Shot, so now tell people to wear two to get rid of the surplus..

There is no getting around the fact that most people are fucking pigs

Not contributing to the problem....I refuse to wear them.

I'm an environmentalist!

We recycle paper and plastic bottles...how about recycled masks? (insert sarcasm here)

Second thought, I think I am better wearing a recycled paper bag, than a recycled piece of crap like a mask.

I read somewhere that these masks are Made In China!

That's not what I'm seeing in my local area ... yes, there's a few face masks in among the general litter ... but the litter is still mostly soda cups, candy wrappers and broken pieces off of cars and trucks ... plus folks who save $4 at the dump by throwing their household trash into gullies and ditches ...

Most face masks are either cloth or paper, both of which are eminently bio-degradable ... not to excuse a disgusting habit, but we've plutonium in the Tennessee and Columbia Rivers for over 75 years now ... this is like complaining about a sore wrist when your arm is broken in four places ...

I hand wash and hang dry my masks and rarely throw one away. The fabric thickness seems to have held up even after several washings.

I would like to address the title of this thread. As has been noted, masks are degradeable. And I suspect the number of lives they have saved is likely well into 7 digits if not more. But if the topic interests you, you could attempt to balance the value of having Trump for another four years versus his direct responsibility for the deaths of several hundred thousand innocent Americans.

Trump saved at least 2 million American lives.

Since when have you been concerned about the planet?

I know this is off thread and board topic, but I have to ask: Which two million would that be?

Masks are leftist-liberal-Democrat gags. Encourage them to keep wearing them. Maybe they'll breathe in too deep one day and choke themselves.

I went to a 'big box' store without a mask. They gave me one, I took it,pretended like I put it on, then took it off and threw it away. Lots of other folks do the same thing. Trash is really going to pile up!!

And you're unhappy with it? Open up a dictionary and see if you can find your own picture under "HYPOCRITE"
