Many people seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that anything with plastic components can survive in the environment for hundreds of years.   Sooner or later discarded items end up in a lake, and then a river and all rivers flow into oceans.   Globally, we are using 129 billion facemasks and 65 billion plastic gloves every single month!   Divers and observers are now finding discarded gloves and mask floating underwater   catastrophically affecting the marine life as they mistake the floating items for food and end up ...
