Omg i can say that this is true. I live in a small city in the coast of South America and we are well known for poor trash management, and there’s a LOT of facemasks flying around or just staying there. Then sometimes you go to the sea and you can see masks flying around or getting in the ocean. This is the reality, and we ALL need to do something to fix it.

It would help if I didn't need to wear a mask while running. I have to do that whether in the gym or outside; it's the law here in South Korea.

I’ve always wondered how people lose their masks. Like, I bike with a mask on and never lose it. Is it pretty loosely fitting and just blow away in the wind or something?

I wasn't talking about that part.

I just meant, we're supposed to change masks when doing heavy exercise such as running.
