Disposable masks are the new plastic bags…People dump them everywhere! 

In less than a year, disposable masks are now found on the streets, on the beaches, and on the ocean.

If you are using disposable masks, make sure to cut the straps before disposing them, to avoid animals getting stuck.

Unless you are a health worker, you can easily reduce waste by switching to a reusable mask!

You just need to know how to wash and store them safely following these simple steps:

After use, hand wash them with detergent. Let them dry, and then store them in a bag or somewhere closed so they don’t get contaminated, until the next time you need them 😉
