Ban all disposable single use face masks (apart from medical use)
In the U.K. (as of November 2020) we discard and send to landfill 53 million single use plastic face masks every single day.
The environmental impact of this is massive.
Every day single use face masks are dropped on the street, blown in to streams and rivers and end up I our oceans.
We want the Government to ban single use face masks full stop!
