  • Obstacles/problems/challenges faced when carrying out the solutions? 
    1. Citizens may not take the posters/videos/flyers seriously
    2. People may feel that it is a bother/troublesome to clean up and change their habits into using the reusable masks and gloves
    3. High cost of reusable/natural masks and gloves, as these reusable/natural materials cost more
    4. Solution is a one-off effort, after they see our posters/videos, they might forget about it a few months later and revert back to their original habits
