200 Billion Face Masks/Gloves Going MONTHLY Into the Environment

So now we have to ask ourselves, WHOSE lives are we exactly saving when obeying the "social distancing mantra" to prevent covid19 from spreading and considering that all our trash always ends up into the environment?

That's a tough question because everything we do to nature comes back to haunt us until we finally address it!

This is exactly why capitalism is a blind ideology. We too have spent a decade defending "precious metals" but we finally realized that we're chasing windmills as capitalism only sees profits, hence distorting reality in favor of a ruthless individualism.

Although some economists were already sounding the alarm 50 years ago, society never really cared about what was done to the environment because people had lots of purchasing power... until the first crack, caused by the dotcom bust, occurred. Then things finally began to change in slow motion.

Environmentalists began their dire warnings in the early 2010s but it just was lots of rhetoric. Though we took notice at the time and pursued an off the grid lifestyle for about 8 years, and preached in favor of "conscious consumerism". Overnight we became the enemy of capitalism while still defending precious metals at the time . I found myself at odds with the system that only wants consumers to kill themselves for the sake of endless consumption.

That is when we threw in the towel and began to regard a money-free society as a viable and wise option.

That most people have just begun to comprehend that their fate and the future of the planet are intertwined has come with tremendous pressure and the expense of biodiversity, the several ongoing ecocides getting worse by the day. There is no rational thinking that can possibly explain people working jobs they generally hate just to satisfy the obsession with hoarding: it is really discombobulating.

Living with less while improving the quality of life should become our absolute priority.

This new ecological crisis is screaming at us that society is on the wrong path again, that the elites cannot be trusted and that we have to change our ways urgently, this could be one of the last very last warnings that we'll get before we get sucked into the Matrix forever.

JULY 2020 -- Every Month, 200 Billion Face Masks and Gloves Are Going Into the Environment : “It’s important to understand we had a tremendously grave crisis before the pandemic even started in terms of plastic waste in the ocean. And now you can take the global pandemic,” Cress said in the BBC interview. “At the current rate, we’re putting a 129 billion — I’m saying billion — face masks into the environment every single month. [And] 65 billion plastic gloves into the environment every single month. A significant portion of those would be disposed of improperly and wind up in the ocean.” https://www.greenmatters.com/p/face-masks-gloves-litter-coronavirus
