    5. Face masks are a simple way to help decrease coronavirus transmission and
    save lives. However, with increasing reports on inappropriate disposal of masks,
    it is urgent to recognize this potential environmental threat and prevent it from
    becoming the next plastic problem. Recent studies estimate that we use an
    astounding 129 billion face masks globally every month -- that is 3 million a
    minute. Most of them are disposable face masks made from plastic microfiber.
