Are disposable masks a problem to the environment?
« on: 14/01/2022 09:56:44 »
Dave wants help answering the following.

"As I walk by yet another discarded mask turned litter I have to wonder if anyone has looked into the environmental cost of Covid 19? Even if properly disposed of, that has got to be billions of masks headed to landfills, all the packaging for Covid tests and shots, etc."

Do you know any statistics & science that can help Dave? Leave them in the comments below...
