Going back into society after this prolonged pandemic can be
a rather daunting thought. We’ve actually
stayed out of trouble in many instances during this time because of the face
masks that have been covering our expressions, e.g., there have been less
instances of road rage. Sure, many
people have been staying home for months, but those that have ventured out and
experienced traffic problems while expressing their indignance have not been
seen doing it behind the masks.
I wrote early on in this pandemic that these disposable “face diapers” would certainly be found blowing in the wind on our streets and
sidewalks. That has now come to fruition
as the production of these masks has skyrocketed during the pandemic and the
recommendation for disposables is for single-use.
The good news is that they still don’t outnumber cigarette butts and
plastic bottles in the environment, but they are still easily observed if you
look for them scattered about.
Cloth masks can be disposed of with other clothing after
cleaning, but it might be better to keep them for collectables and costume
parties in future years. They might even be a hit as soon as this Halloween!
