Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

During Covid-19 it is very important for us to recycle the mask that we use. There has been a drastic increase of the use of mask since the pandemic, which can cause environment problems if they are not disposed correctly. Buying mask that can be washed and reused would be ideal, but if that is not possible, the least we can do is recycle. Although it may seem like a small task, we can help the world stay clean by recycling your mask after using.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
