I'm actually worried about the environmental damage of masks more than anything. Poor sea turtles [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Yah. Mass manufacturing and harvesting of cotton and polycarbons is no good.
Less bad if we made our own out of used double or triple layers of cotton.
A large majority of painters masks which ppl wastefully use to comply with social norms are made in China.
We probably afflicted people with more horrible deformities, cancers, and terminal illnesses with the mask industry/ economy than all of the influenzas combined throughout human history..
Reason #56447 not to get bent over masks.
The fuel production and waste from inefficiently transporting and distributing masks alone probably increased heavy metal pollution a non trivial amount.
