Ban face masks

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban the use of face masks due them being improperly worn & irresponsibly disposed of.

There is an ever increasing amount of face masks being improperly worn & irresponsibly disposed of on the floor which make their way into rivers & our seas polluting them & the wildlife there. It is not only an unsightly mess but a health hazard & potential environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. They are causing more harm than good & we have a moral duty not just to fellow human beings but other living inhabitants of this planet which we share. Urgent action is needed. #BanTheMask
