Why does there always have to be good news and bad news scenario during a crisis?
Let’s take a step back.
We suppose it could be a bad news and more bad news scenario.
Worse, it could be a bad news and even worse news scenario.
Okay, so the good news bad news scenario isn’t quite so bad.
So, here we go. Regarding news focusing on the environment during the current coronavirus pandemic, there is good news and bad news.
You kind of knew that right?
Which one do you want first?
There has been so much bad news, time for the good news first.
As reported by the global news leader CNN, “Images taken over the first three weeks of March show less nitrogen dioxide over parts of the United States than the same time last year. Nitrogen dioxide in the air comes primarily from the burning of fuel and forms from the emissions of cars, trucks, buses, power plants and off-road equipment, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.”
That is incredibly good news. We need more. Hope humans can keep that up.
The news team at cnbc.com adds, “As coronavirus quickly spreads around the world, it’s forcing people to stay put, and wreaking havoc on the economy. All this has led to a massive drop in air pollution, which kills a total of 4.2 million people every year, and over 1 million in China alone. By one conservative estimate, cleaner air has saved about 50,000 lives in China alone over these past few months.”
That is really good news.
Okay, ready? Ready for the bad news? Here is comes. You’ve heard all about those surgical masks that are protecting us from being infected right?
They are very effective. That’s the good news.
They are made from plastic.
The bad news is that after people throw them away, almost every day, where are they eventually ending up?
How many people are there in China alone? Yeah, they need that many masks.
The team at CNN educates us. “Gloves, masks and wipes are all plastic. When that’s discarded into the environment, it goes into sewer systems or water bodies. It breaks down into micro plastics, which still attract pesticides and other harmful chemicals. So when the marine animals eat it, they don’t just get the plastic, they get the chemicals too.”
Ouch. We can’t win for losing.
In all fairness, since they are made of plastic and given the global problem of plastic bottles polluting the oceans so much that they literally form barges, plastic is as plastic does, even if it is a vital product to help protect us from a deadly virus.
They have to end up some place.
But not all is lost.
There is good news. Aren’t you glad? Want to know what it is? You’re not going to believe this. Even after reading about it, we’re not sure that we still believe it. We certainly hope that it is true.
The good news is that there are eco-friendly masks made from coffee.
Really? Coffee? Well at least we know that you don’t eat or drink it after you are done using it. Kind of defeats the original purpose.
Here is some good news. You deserve it.
Smells good.
World’s first face mask made from coffee – an eco-friendly message from AirX
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The disposal of face masks and medical waste during the COVID-19 pandemic is putting increasing pressure on the environment. According to statistics during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mainland China, 116 million tons of masks were consumed every day. Especially during the peak of the outbreak, hospitals in Wuhan released about 240 tons of medical waste every day. Most of Hong Kong’s 7.4 million people have for weeks been putting on single-use face masks every day in the hope of warding off the coronavirus. To tackle this problem, AirX is now launched as the world’s first ever coffee mask made from Vietnamese coffee, which is antibacterial, reusable and biodegradable. Thanh Le, founder of ShoeX, said, “AirX is not just a recommendation to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but preserve the planet as well.”
AirX– Eco-friendly. Fashion-tech. And what else?
These above qualities have been committed since the AirX idea was born four months ago, when coronavirus pandemic just started. “The face mask deserves to have a longer life than just one-time use. Eco-friendliness, according to us, is not the only selling point of AirX because we all need to take it by default, as a proactive step towards cleaner living habits,” Thanh Le said.
AirX are antimicrobial face masks with 99.99% dual antibacterial technology for 2 layers of protection. The first layer is woven from coffee yarn using PowerKnit technology, provides a comfortable fit but softness for sensitive skin. The face mask has a biodegradable filter inside, which is developed by silver nanotechnology and coffee. The mask is washable and reusable while its filter does not need to be washed but can be replaced after 30 days.
AirX has obtained the AATCC 100 certification (the textile industry’s standard for antimicrobial fabric performance in the United States) from QUATEST 3. “For the next development, we have successfully embedded technology in producing recycled AirX coffee mask with N95 feature, the product will be launched soon to the demanding market,” The founder unveiled.
Each coffee mask, as well as coffee filter, has a custom-designed 3-layer packaging to ensure sterilized function of Nano silver filter. AirX also has excellent natural coffee aroma that can cheer users up, while offering UV ray protection with fashionable design and stylish colors.
Thanh Le shared, “The best thing about AirX is being the first step to deliver a healthy solution with 100% vegan components that everyone can buy. It is not too difficult or expensive to start being mindful of our consumption habits for environmentally friendly, natural and green products. With current resources, AirX can supply to mass production with quantity up to 10,000 masks daily, associated with high demand rate for face masks globally.”
And now, if café sua da is an especially delicious treat to seek out while visiting Vietnam, coffee mask will be the first thing that global caffeine connoisseur vividly remembers when thinking of Vietnam’s sweet-smelling effort to prevent covid pandemic yet makes their souls sing.
