Last night I had a dream, a dream that had a sea turtle tangled up in a face mask. I’m looking to start collecting the used facemasks to recycle and put them... to a greater purpose for their second life...if you could please gather your masks, collect them and put them in a bag, I will happily come pick them up at no cost to you; contactless pickup. Collect em, bag em, and I’ll do the rest...we can’t let our planet be continually abused with our rubbish...let’s be better together See more
