![]() As the whole world is dealing with pandemic Covid-19, many people suffer from Covid and some are lucky enough. Many countries were on a complete lockdown for several months, some are still on lockdown. Work from home, online classes, staying at home for a long period was new for almost all people. Countries were suffering from the economic crisis, many people become jobless, many people lost their family members, every person was facing new challenges. Despite challenges, we all were fighting strong to survive this pandemic. Before the Covid vaccine was introduced the way to safety was social distancing, applying hand sanitizer or washing hands frequently, using masks. Many frontline workers fought bravely to keep the public safe from the pandemic. People were aware of how to stay safe, every people started wearing masks at least. But after a month we can see used masks everywhere thrown here and there on roads, grounds, which lead to land pollution. Not only masks worn PPE saw on road. Instead of making surrounding, rivers clean people started disposing of waste on the roadside. One day while I was going on the morning walk, I started counting the thrown masks and collecting them, the total masks I collect were more than fifty. I dispose of the collected masks in a paper waste container. Managing our waste is the basic thing everyone must be aware of. Stay safe and clean. |
