We are the third side of the triangle of the latest ecological disaster.
When you throw away your disposable mask, cut the elastic so an animal cannot get garrotted or strangled. Dispose of your PPE sensibly, take care not to accidently (or purposely) drop it
Reusable masks are better for the environment, especially if made from recycled materials. Gloves are only for the professioonals, WASH YOUR HANDS.
Oh sorry for the rant....................... this is for my tag challenge (selfie, abstract sunshine - this was only bit of sun in shaded garden today!) and I thought I'd drop it in for the 5+2s too.

I fear we are teetering on the tip of an iceberg of disaster and the plastic that PPE comes in or is made from, and the amount of disposables is one side of a huge slippery slope of environmental nightmare @overalvandaan sadly I don't think we can wake up the world to just how dramatic the situation truly is
@koalagardens At the beginning of the year we were making great progress not using single use plastic, but Covid changed all that because the groceries have to be prepackaged now. So we are using more single use plastic than ever. But we do leave the disposables for the health care workers and use our washable masks.
