It's been over a year of finding disposable face masks littering the ocean, rivers, and coastlines around the world!
As we're over a year into this pandemic, our cleanup crews are still finding hundreds of face masks in the environment every single week.
Studies show that roughly 129 BILLION single-use face masks are being used every single month. When these masks aren't properly disposed of, they make their way into the environment.
This cannot be the new normal.
Please consider using a reusable face mask. If you can't, please ensure you're properly disposing of your single-use masks so that they don't end up as pollution where they can cause serious harm to wildlife.
