Waste from more than a million toilets flows out of giant sewage pipes, creating a swirling stinky river that has to be processed at the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant which serves a large section of Metro Vancouver.

It's just one of many facilities across Canada and around the world seeing an uptick in discarded masks, gloves and wet wipes being flushed down the toilet and causing treatment problems since the advent of COVID-19.

"It looks like we saw a few masks going up," said plant supervisor Dave Hoffman, as he pointed to a giant metal mechanical screen that separates items that don't biodegrade from the usual sludgy mass of poop and toilet paper.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) and other items that don't biodegrade are dried before ending up in a large waste pile nearby. At this point, they're matted into a putrid, grey mass, but a few medical gloves and items such as condoms stand out.

It's a problem that's drawn the attention of researchers at the University of British Columbia who are at work on creating a protective mask that biodegrades or can be recycled.

"Whether they're wipes, whether they're masks, whether they're rubber gloves, all of those things can't be treated in the sewage system and, in fact, damage our equipment," said Jerry Dobrovolny, chief administrative officer for Metro Vancouver.

He says there's been an uptick in this type of waste since the outbreak of the pandemic, but it hasn't been quantified.

This adds to the problem highlighted by the infamous fatbergs - wet wipes and kitchen fats clogging up sewage systems around the world after so-called "flushable wipes" surged in popularity.

COVID-19-related personal protective equipment (PPE) is adding to the problem, because even a small percentage of improperly disposed of items can clog pumps, pipes and other infrastructure.

Dobrovolny said colleagues across Canada who run sewer and solid waste systems are seeing a similar rise in improperly disposed of PPE, and taxpayers end up footing the bill.

"What we're finding now with COVID is that those numbers are increasing. Across the country, it can total over $250 million a year in increased maintenance costs," said Dobrovolny.

Masks made from plastic fibre

Metro Vancouver is putting new emphasis on an existing campaign to encourage people to be careful what they send into the sewer system. He reminds homeowners that they, too, can face personal costs if their home sewer system gets clogged.

Disposable masks, for instance, may feel like soft cotton, but they're almost all made from non-biodegradable material such as polypropylene.

In addition to people flushing them down the toilet, cities are seeing personal protective equipment discarded on the street. A spokesperson for the city of Vancouver says that's raising concerns for crews who have to deal with the waste.

Also, something dropped on the street can then get flushed into storm drains, many of which empty straight into streams or the ocean.

Richard Thompson, a professor of marine biology at the University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom, says society needs to understand and deal with what happens to all disposable items after they're used.

"The persistence of litter is incredibly long-lasting - hundreds if not thousands of years - and that's why it's really important that that end-of-life phase is fully thought out," he said.

And he notes that this new waste stream is adding to the already serious problem of microplastics, the tiny pieces of debris now found in every ocean.

"The sea is sort of downhill from everywhere, and so there's a tendency for materials to accumulate there carried by rivers or carried by wind."

Racing to make eco-friendly masks

At a research lab at the University of British Columbia, a group of scientists saw the problem and decided they could put a dent in the growing waste pile.

They recently formed an ad hoc team to come up with less-damaging mask.

"This is all paper - all wood fibre," said Orlando Rojas, a professor at UBC's Bioproducts Institute, pointing to an array of materials and mask prototypes on a workbench.

Canada has a long history of making paper products, and he's confident once the right formula is found, millions of eco-friendly masks and other protective gear can be produced at low cost.

"People are very conscious about sustainability, so this flies really high in people's minds. If we match that interest with the performance of wood fibre, we likely have a winner here," Rojas said.

It would also help reduce dependency on foreign suppliers, a huge ongoing problem, as demand for PPE far exceeds supply.

The key is creating a soft, durable paper product that can still filter out viruses.
WATCH | PPEs create a waste problem, but Canadian scientists are working on a solution:
Rojas said many of the initial technical hurdles have already been solved, and talks are underway with manufacturers.

It could be a long-term proposition, with people all around the world now wearing face masks and concern growing over their impact on the environment.

A made-in Canada-solution, with the potential for local manufacturing would also help ensure the country isn't caught short again when it comes to supplies of crucial equipment needed to fight the pandemic, said Rojas.

This was just 2018, but so much wildlife had died because of the toxic "red tide" algae bloom. Algal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen.) The most effective thing to do is reduce the amount of algae-feeding nutrients.

With its long, white, sandy beaches, Sanibel Island off the coast of south-western Florida is usually a perfect place for families to enjoy these last days of summer.

This year, however, 267 tons of marine life, including thousands of small fish, 72 Goliath groupers, and even a 21-ft whale shark have washed up on the beach since July - thanks to a a disastrous "red tide" of toxic algae.

The algae, called Karenia brevis, began in November and has affected beaches along about 150 miles of Florida's Gulf Coast from Anna Maria Island to Naples. In Sarasota, two hours north of Sanibel, wildlife scientists recovered nine dead bottlenose dolphins last week.

"We had groupers probably four feet and five feet up here, and all kinds of fish [wash up]," said Andrew Stone, who was taking a sunset walk on Sanibel's Lighthouse beach with his wife, Joyce Hillman. The couple comes here from Bonita Springs every year.

"We had the binoculars and we were looking at fish bobbing up and down way out there, bigger than those buoys," he said, pointing about 100 meters offshore. "And the bugs were horrific," Hillman added.

While algal blooms are common here, they are usually constrained to a few months in late summer or early fall, and are mainly noticeable for the dark, greenish-red color they give the water. But this bloom has lasted from one season into the next without reprieve, and achieved the unusually high densities believed to be responsible for killing so much wildlife.

Sanibel Island is usually bustling at this time of year, but the sight and smell of scores of dead fish on beaches, and reports on the bloom in the news, have kept many tourists away.

The algae also causes mild respiratory irritation, so those who brave the smell can spend their time on the beach - if they can put up with a cough and watery eyes. People with asthma or other respiratory diseases are at risk of more serious complications, however.

"There's definitely been many, many, fewer people," said Hillman, the sunset reflecting on the reddish tint in the water behind her last week.

Clean-up crews had removed the dead fish from the sand earlier in the day, but the water was still dark, and the beach was sparsely populated. "This is the cleanest the beaches have been in two weeks," she added.

Though Sanibel's beaches have now been cleaned up - the bloom is continuing.

In a recently released survey, businesses in Sarasota County reported losses of up to 6% compared to last year, which they have attributed to the bloom.

"It's scary, and it's weird and it's devastating really," said Morgan Combs, who grew up on Sanibel and works at a local inn. "Just observing not having any traffic, and not seeing anyone on the beach other than cleaners."

Scientists are still trying to determine what is responsible for this bloom, but the consensus so far seems to be that a combination of factors - including heavy rainfall, ocean temperature and salinity, unlucky wind patterns and pollution - could have aligned to create just the right conditions for Karenia brevis to thrive and to stay put.

"There's a lot of different things that can be involved," said Kate Hubbard, who leads the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's harmful algal bloom research group. "We do know that we haven't had the physical conditions that sometimes help with bloom termination, that help push the bloom offshore."

At the same time that the Karenia brevis bloom is casting a pall on south-western Florida's beaches, a record-breaking bloom of blue-green "algae" is also spreading through its freshwater.

Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in July to respond to the blue-green algae (which is actually a species of cyanobacteria, not an algae) and combat pollution. But the foul-smelling algae are clogging canals, preventing fishing and similarly affecting tourism business.

There is more clarity on the causes of the cyanobacteria bloom: scientists believe that it is likely caused by warmer waters from climate change and polluted runoff from agriculture and urban areas surrounding Lake Okeechobee.

The pollution is made worse because many wetlands in Florida have been developed, so water moves quickly into the rivers and lakes, without natural filtration through the estuaries.

Some people are concerned the same pollution exacerbating the blue-green algae may be reaching the sea and feeding the Karenia brevis as well, but there is disagreement among experts on the issue.

Rick Bartleson, an environmental scientist at the non-profit Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation, thinks it's clear that nutrients from the land are at least a part of the problem.

"There are other factors that had to work together [to create] this perfect storm for the developing red tide population ... [but], it's obvious that you can't have dense blooms like this, and long lasting blooms, without having a high nutrient supply rate to the algae."

Hubbard is much more circumspect.

"It's a naturally occurring event, it's been documented centuries ago," Hubbard said.

One idea to tackle the blooms that Hubbard and collaborators are working on involves field and lab studies to inform whether installing shellfish in some of the areas in Florida often impacted by blooms of toxic algae might one day help, because shellfish are natural "grazers" that filter out and eat the algae.

As Florida prepares for November elections, gubernatorial and senate candidates have been forced to address the crises caused by algae. Senate candidate Bill Nelson, running against Scott, held a roundtable on the blue-green algae on Friday, and candidates in the Republican and Democratic primaries for governor addressed the issue in their debates.

Activists in areas affected by "red tides" held a peaceful protest called "Hands along the water" on beaches along Florida's coast on Sunday, to "show that we do not, and will not, stand for our beautiful beaches, wildlife, homes and livelihoods to continuously be destroyed and impacted by the water released from Lake Okeechobee."

The rise in disposable face masks and gloves being used to prevent the spread of coronavirus is adding to the glut of plastic pollution threatening the health of oceans and marine life, environmentalists warn.

On Wednesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order, effective this weekend, that New Yorkers must now wear a mask when out in public in situations where social distancing isn't possible.

Sharing the full story, not just the headlines

The CDC advises wearing cloth masks in public (although President Trump says it's not mandatory and he " doesn't see it for himself") due to the concern that Covid-19 can be spread by people who are infected but not showing symptoms.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams warned Americans to stop buying medical masks that are needed by healthcare workers.

It has done little to stop a wave of single-use masks and latex gloves being used and discarded.

On social media, pictures of bright blue gloves and crumpled masks littering streets, shopping carts, parking lots, beaches and green spaces are being posted around the world. It's left to sanitation workers and grocery story staff, those essential but underpaid frontline employees, to pick them up.

Those not picked up can be caught by a gust of wind or washed down drains, ending up in the ocean and waterways.

Not only is there a potential health risk of dropping used masks and gloves during the pandemic but many contain materials that do not recycle and are not biodegradable. Surgical masks are made using non-woven fabrics including plastics like polypropylene.

According to NOAA, plastic wreaks havoc on marine ecosystems. As plastic swirls around in the water, much of it breaks down to tiny pieces, called micro-plastics.

The Ocean Conservancy discovered that many fish species consume plastics debris, confusing it for real food and estimated that at least 600 different wildlife species are threatened by the pollution.

There is also a human health risk from plastic entering the food chain with nearly a billion people around the world consuming seafood as their primary source of protein.

No hype, just the advice and analysis you need

Used masks and gloves add to an already significant problem: At least 8m tons of plastic end up in the oceans every year, making up 80 per cent of all marine debris, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The bright colours of latex gloves can be mistaken as food by seabirds, turtles and other marine mammals putting them at risk of severe injuries and death.

Last year a sperm whale, which died after becoming stranded on a beach on the Isle of Harris in Scotland, was found to have 220lb of debris in its stomach including bundles of rope, plastic gloves, bags and cups.

An early warning sign of the worrying trend came in February, when conservation group OceansAsia posted a photo of dozens of surgical masks they discovered on Hong Kong beaches during a year-long research project into marine debris and micro-plastics.

Co-founder Gary Stokes told The Independent: "The way I see these masks in the environment is just another addition to the ever-growing marine debris crisis our oceans are facing. No better, no worse, just shouldn't be there in the first place. I'm waiting to hear of the first necropsy that finds masks inside a dead marine animal. It's not a question of if, but when."

Coronavirus masks are adding to Hong Kong's marine trash problem which flows from mainland China and elsewhere. "People think they're protecting themselves but it's not just about protecting yourselves, you need to protect everybody and by not throwing away the mask properly, it's very selfish," Tracey Read, founder of the group Plastic Free Seas in Hong Kong told Reuters.

In the US, Maria Algarra, was so concerned about the uptick in plastic waste that she started a hashtag campaign on 23 March called #TheGloveChallenge, asking people to send photos as a way to track littered gloves and raise awareness of the issue. (She made clear that people should not pick up the items unless they feel it's safe and they have personal protective equipment).

Ms Algarra founded Clean This Beach Up in Miami, Florida last year. Before the pandemic, the movement had grown to 1,600 people, from high school students to octogenarians, volunteering to pick up trash on beaches across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

She told The Independent that since the coronavirus outbreak, she had seen dozens of plastic gloves floating in the bay, in parking lots and on the Venetian Causeway bridges linking Miami Beach to the mainland.

As part of the campaign, Ms Algarra has been sent 1,200 pictures of jettisoned plastic gloves - not only in Miami but in the boroughs of New York City and in Italy, Spain, Germany and New Zealand. A rough count adds up to more than 1,800 gloves in these pictures alone.

She has received a lot of photos from Portugal, France and New Jersey particularly. Of the latter, Ms Algarra said: "I couldn't believe my eyes. One girl sent a video where she found over 30 gloves from her car to the door of the store that she was going to."

Ms Algarra said that the gloves were a growing problem both for the ocean and on dry land. "It not only causes risk to wildlife but to other people who could get infected, our sanitation workers and other shoppers for example, when gloves are left in carts.

"With the glove challenge, it's about education. That's the key for us to do better as a community and as humans.

"We can't expect people to change their ways if they don't know what they're doing wrong."

She added: "Plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces until micro-plastic is everywhere. It's toxic and it's in what we're eating and drinking.

"There's no way to clean up micro-plastics. Once trash makes it into the ocean and breaks into smaller pieces, it's almost impossible to take it back."

So how can you help with this situation. Well because of Covid-19 theres been a little problem with masks. Yes, people are careless sometimes and they throw away they masks they use. Well instant of doing that and keep throwing the masks and making pollution. Well why don't you just buy a washable mask its cheaper and looks better, also its much stronger than the one that you use once. So i suggest you go do that now before tomorrow.

(c)  What does “urban sprawl” mean?  Provide an example of urban sprawl in your neighbourhood or in your community. Explain the negative effect on the environment.

Urban sprawl is when development of cities are focused outside of the city centers, frequently eating into parks, greenspace, and farmland. This usually creates the effect of a never ending grey hellscape of roads and small businesses scattered everywhere at random.

Provide an example of urban sprawl in your neighbourhood or community.

I'd say the entire city of surrey is a very good example of urban sprawl.
Around 50 years ago surrey was all rural farmland. Eventually expansion turned a rich ecosystem and farming community into our lovely city we have today. Urban sprawl is still continuing to spread in parts of south surrey.

Explain the negative effect on the environment.

Urban sprawl forces wildlife out of their habitats and ruins perfectly good farmland that would be better utilized for growing much needed food than real estate. Animals that live in the greenspace on the outskirts of cities are forced into small pockets of land. These animals eventually die due to lack of diversity and space to live in. These animals can also start to try and move into the city, possibly endangering the people that live there.
