Picking up discarded masks and gloves? No, I would not do that. It is not my job. Someone should be responsible to clean up after the people who litter. But......good for you for cleaning up after those inconsiderate folks.I thank you.

Masks are to keep hospitals etc from being overwhelmed. I heard that here from a TOTV PHD/MD/BS lol. Remove 300,000 annually from ER's and hospitals in general and you've removed a major headache. And I agree it isn't contagious but have you ever seen a skinny kid who had obese parents? Some of the biggest kids I taught in scouts had mom's and dad's that were seriously wide. It runs in families. McDonald genes we called them.
Let's see, 40% of the population is obese. You don't think that to produce what is required to create and sustain all that doesn't create millions of tons of 'stuff' that's potentially fatal to others.
It's not my job! That is by far, the saddest thing I can remember reading. It sure the heck is, it's everyone's job. Do you have kids or grand kids? Better show them all the wildlife you can while you can. We're killing them with cruelty and pollution faster than the poor animals can multiply.
Then I guess it's my job. I've seen this first hand, it's repulsive.
This whale had more than 88 pounds of plastic in its stomach when it died.
Maybe Covid is a blessing in disguise. Maybe there are just too many of us and Mother Nature really is winning.
