“There’s no doubt about it — masks are saving lives. These small but powerful tools have been recommended by every credible source to effectively slow the spread of the coronavirus. The problem is that masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE), like gloves, are ending up in our oceans and harming wildlife and the environment. Many people, like medical personnel and folks with certain disabilities or high risk factors, need to use single-use masks and gloves. But for many more people, reusable masks are a better, more sustainable solution! Already, conservationists and marine biologists across the globe are finding masses of gloves and masks in our earth’s bodies of water. One video shows an octopus trapped beneath a single-use medical mask, unable to free itself. Other footage shows beaches clogged with masks, and scuba divers surrounded by so many gloves that it looks like confetti. We need to reduce the use of these single-use products by reserving them for those who need them and supplying the rest of the population with reusable ones.”

While we continue our work to improve the lives of people in Malawi, our team in America wants to express our support for the Black Lives Matter movement in our communities. As a grassroots organization, we feel it would be unjust to stay silent about what black Americans are experiencing today. We have been horrified by the recent acts of racism and killings of black Americans, and we are committed to doing the work of uprooting racism and white supremacy in our personal lives. We send our love to our black brothers and sisters in America who are suffering in the wake of recent events. Black lives matter, today and every day. With love, the Africa Bags team #blacklivesmatter
