Please just use a disposable glove

A small town in Henan. 2016

You see this all the time in China. People digging into rubbish bins and fishing out plastic bottles and containers. This time, it was outside a high school canteen in a small town in Henan. Its an important role and they are part of the recycling network or ecosystem in China. They then sell these plastics to the neighbourhood recycling companies to make a small living. But I always have one question whenever I see this: why don’t they wear a disposable glove? Its more hygienic and it protects themselves and their families from germs and diseases. Important even during a pre-covid era of 2016.
