LETTERS: Masks should be properly disposed of

Too many are disposing of their masks wherever they feel like it
22531848_web1_LETTERSPenPaperC

I would like to address an annoying and bad health related trend I am seeing where some in our communities are disposing of their blue face masks by just dropping them where ever they feel like it.

Come on people, are you kidding me? I have seen the masks on the floor in womenB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s washrooms B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ I guess the metal box on the wall was not thought to be a good place to dispose of them B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ or in parking lots outside of stores or just wherever people feel like it.

Who do you think is going to pick up your discarded, germ-infected blue masks? And if you care so much to wear a mask, why would you casually dispose of it this way, infecting other people who are paid to pick that garbage up?

If itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s not masks being thrown away in public places, or dog feces in coloured bags thrown away on the beach or on public trails, itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s people trashing public campgrounds. What is going on with people?

ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s like some people have lost all sensibility. We all live in this very large community called the world, and we are all tired of those in this world that donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t give a care about how they are leaving it for others.
