Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting rid of the masks any time soon. The use of disposable masks has escalated since the appearance of Covid 19. Most of the 8 billion global population are wearing masks. Thinking about the problems created by the dumping of these disposable masks can be saddening to say the least. But there is an alternative. The least we can do is to wear safe, reusable masks and at the same time we would be taking care of the environment! Less trash means a safer environment for us all! Make the swap and save the planet!

Students at Saint Nicholas College Secondary School Ħad-Dingli have been investigating the effect of Covid-19 on the environment. Lockdowns and teleworking may be having some positive impacts on our environment. On the other hand, the use of disposable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has increased in order to ensure safety of health care workers and other frontliners and to reduce transmission of the virus. Disposable face masks, “are the new cigarette butt,” according to the Guardian. And it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting rid of them any time soon. The least we can do is to wear safe, reusable masks and at the same time we would be taking care of the environment! Less trash means a safer environment for us all!
