The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to wear surgical face masks. They are compulsory in some EU countries and highly reccomended. Polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene or polyester are some of the other commonly-used materials in surgical masks. While they keep out bacteria effectively (although not necessarily that of the virus), the masks are plastic-based, liquid-resistant products that have a long afterlife after they are discarded, ending up in landfill or oceans.
Action on plastics was identified as a priority in the Circular Economy Action Plan, to help European businesses and consumers to use resources in a more sustainable way.
The first-ever European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy adopted on January 2018 will transform the way plastic products are designed, used, produced and recycled in the EU.
It is each individual’s responsibility to utilise the masks rationally and follow the necessary guidelines while disposing of their masks and other medical gear to reduce the pollution of the environment.

After forced closing due to Covid-19 a number of World Heritage sites around the globe have now reopened and tours will be starting up again.
Many of them are offering new or different ways to experience them. By visiting tourists help to support the protection and conservation of these treasures of humanity.
From the Aranjuez located 1 hour from Madrid in Spain to the Colosseum in Italy, from the Ancient Olympia in Greece to the Mont Saint-Michel in France people come back to a new normality in the best way possibile: appreciating Europe’s history.
The map displaying the 167 States Parties with World Heritage properties show that 84 (= 50%) countries have closed sites totally, whereas 32 (= 19%) countries kept their sites open. For 51 countries (31%) partial closure has been indicated, which includes countries that are re-opening World Heritage places slowly the crisis after.
