Those wretched things are made in China, using possibly dangerous chemicals and plastic. They are shipped over to Europe and other countries.

People dump them in the streets, and now they are being burned. By the million.

What was that about the environment again?

Greedy, corrupt liars destroying the planet.

Oh man that hurts. Surely they could just give them away as dust masks for in the garage-type thing?

You could pull my undies out of the laundry to wear as a dustmask, if you want.
