    Disposable masks, gloves and other types of personal protective equipment are safeguarding lives — and creating a pollution problem. In Northern California, environmental groups are trying to do something about it.http://apne.ws/iDP1HEg

        See them all the time on public grounds, shopping malls, etc. It is becoming a problem. Ppl do not throw their trash in trash cans.

        The masks are not the problem. Again like everything else its dirty disrespectful indulgent entitled human beings with no self respect or empathy. Humanity is a total failure despite sciences best efforts

        Exactly the first response/solution I see to this article is “stop wearing them they didn’t do anything “ an untrue statement which is perpetuates and demonstrates the same human-made problem which can be mitigated if we just gave a s**t about anyone but ourselvespic.twitter.com/4D55HBAE7K

        This is why... companies like "the ocean cleanup" are important. Although, people need to do more to reduce waste.

        It’s not the gloves and masks that are creating the problem...it’s the people not disposing of them properly. “GuNs DoNT ShOot ThEMseLVeS”
