O duplo “voo” das máscaras descartáveis / Disposable masks’ double flight
As máscaras descartáveis têm “voado” das prateleiras dos supermercados e farmácias, pelo seu carácter mais prático comparativamente às máscaras reutilizáveis, pois são um equipamento de proteção individual de uso único, que se usa e deita fora em vez de se lavar e usar novamente.
Mas as máscaras descartáveis usadas, frequentemente, também “voam” para o chão dos espaços públicos, constituindo, paradoxalmente, um potencial risco para a nossa saúde, assim como uma ameaça real para o ambiente e para outros seres vivos. Desde o início da pandemia de COVID-19, este é um dos itens que mais se encontram nos oceanos e nas praias.
Disposable masks have been “flying” from the supermarkets and pharmacies’ shelfves because of their more practical nature when compared with reusable masks since they are an equipament meant for a single use, meant to be used and disposed of, instead of being washed and reused.
But these used disposable masks frequently used, also “fly” to public spaces’ floors, meaning they are potential hazard to our health as well as a real menace to the environment and other living beings. Since the beggining of the COVID-19 Pandemic this is one of most found items in beaches and oceans.

Fusing Plastic, a new “life” for plastic packaging
Fusing Plastic”, is a technique, which fuses plastic packaging, with an iron, to give life to new objects. Ironing plastic bags and other types of packaging, creates a versatile material that can be used in different durable, practical, useful and attractive creations. This way of reusing is incredible for creating and reducing waste with materials that would seemingly be of no use after having had an ephemeral use.
