We live in extraordinarily difficult times. If anything thats seen through out the world during these toughest times is resilience. There are so many actions around the world that can be highlighted to show how resilient we are, during the pandemic. One of those acts I want to highlight here is wearing face masks. Amidst all the chaos and controversies, people show that they care and they take responsibility is by the simple act of wearing masks. The profound message it leaves to the people that are otherwise wrongly influenced is immense.4
We’ve paused the time when wearing any kind of mask is good. Because we’ve been wearing masks for the past 6 months and will continue to wear until we’re completely out of the pandemic. For the first few weeks, wearing single-use surgical masks were the only accessible and affordable option, and it was mandatory, so we all went along with it. Use and throw masks are gonna cost you more because you have to keep on buying them and they are not reusable, as I like to call it loss-loss. Now that we’ve acquired enough knowledge on what kind of mask is good for us and the planet, and we have multiple options that are easily accessible, its high time, we look towards the best sustainable option.
I’ve curated this list of stores that take extreme care in the fabrics used to makes these masks, and they look stylish too. Wear a mask but make it fashion
