on the eastern part of ukraine. we'll have a report from the region coming up in a few moments. we begin with the major mask update. a federal judge halting the cdc's mask mandate for planes, trains, buses and other forms of public transportation. and overnight, uber has announced it is dropping the mandate as well. updating its policy to say, as of april 19th, 2022, riders and drivers are not required to wear masks when using uber. all of this coming as some parts of the country are still seeing a rise in covid cases. talk about that and more with dr. richard besser in a moment. we begin with tom costello at reagan national. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are seeing faces here in the airport now that the cdc has officially dropped the mask mandate. tsa has done the same thing, of course. the cdc recommending that you wear a mask if you're traveling for your own protection and the airlines are pretty much leaving it up to individual passengers. if you want to mask up, that's

fine. if you don't want to, you could drop the mask. >> the security administration will no longer enforce the mandate requiring masks in the airport and aircraft. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: this morning many travelers are breathing a deep sigh of sigh of relief without the masks. >> masks will be optional this evening for all crew and passengers as well. >> reporter: the nation's largest airlines all dropped their mask requirements just hours after a federal judge ruled the cdc overstepped its legal authority. a trump-appointed district court judge writing, our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfullily even in pursuit of desirable ends miguel almaguer talking to travelers on one of the first flights after masks became optional >> i was like thank you. we can breathe again we are so happy. >> we're both vaccinated is.

so you know what masks done. >> reporter: the ruling days after the cdc announced it was once again going to extend the public transportation mask mandate until may 3rd. following the judge's decision the tsa announced it would rescind new security directives set to take effect today this morning, you may be able to drop the mask on the way to the airport too. uber announcing drivers and passengers are no longer required to mask up while using the service. for the skies, some airline employees set to police mask wearing, relieved. >> it was absolutely stressful there are people on one side who don't want to wear the mask and you have the other extreme, the moment somebody takes their mask off to eat or drink, somebody is hitting the call button. >> reporter: averaging more than the million people every day over the past holiday weekend. the head of the flight

the robert wood johnson foundation good morning >> good morning. >> that was fast almost as soon as this ruling comes down, so many of the airlines that had been pushing for the mask mandate to expire, lifted their requirements. let's set aside for the moment whether or not you agree with the legal ruling do you have any safety, public health concerns right now about these masks coming down? >> savannah, we all want to get back to our lives as we knew them before the pandemic, and, you know, the good news is across the country we're seeing easing of a lot of restrictions as the risk to people goes down. you know, i had hoped that the transit requirement for masks would be one of the last things that went away and the reason for that is, that there are a lot of people who don't have a choice when it comes to travel. and there are people who have disabilities, who have medical conditions that put them at greater risk who are in situations where they are shoulder to shoulder with fellow passengers on a bus, on a train, in a subway.

and if the people around them are no wearing masks, yes, people can wear their own masks, but there's added protection when you're that close for a long period of time, if those people around you also have a mask i would hope that people would respect those around them, and if there are people around you who are wearing masks, that you put yours on it's not a big thing to do. >> we mentioned that some of the public transit agencies around the country have differing rules. is there a public health difference in your mind between the safety of airline travel, airport travel versus a subway or a metro >> i think there is. it's a bit counterintuitive, but actually, the air flow on airplanes is much better than you'll see in other transit situations on an airplane, the greatest risk is from those people right next to you or maybe the row in front or the row right behind you. on a subway in new york, i ride the subway a lot, you're often

in a car with people very, very close to you without that same kind of air flow people who work in those situations, so, we are getting to a point in this pandemic where our lives are getting back towards normal but i would encourage people to follow their public health required by law. my biggest concern is that if the cdc loses its power to prevent the spread of infectious diseases between states or coming into the country, we're all at great risk. so i hope that this ruling is challenged because in the next pandemic, the next big public health crisis, we want the cdc to be able to put in scientifically based, rational restrictions that protect people's health. >> dr. richard besser, thank you very much. a spring storm is making it

>> i believe that sooner or later, mariupol will be liberated. but sooner or later, we do believe that it will ours. >> reporter: an optimism that explains why mariupol has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance despite the favorable terrain and the genuine pro-russian sympathy in the eastern part of the country, the analysts i've been hearing from said there's no reason to believe that the russians are going to do any better in that donbas region than they did around here in kyiv and that's because the russian military still suffersnn returned to its traditional from really low morale and poor. the boston marathon returned to its schedule. evans chebet won the men's division peres jepchirchir pulled away in the final block to take first in

>> we'll get a look at the growing push to use and reuse materials that won't harm the planet first, this is "today" on nbc. i'm dan o'dowd and i approved this message. you are watching actual videos of the

tesla full self driving technology as recorded by the drivers. from turning too tightly and hitting a pylon... [ expletive ] to swerving toward a pole. jesus. watch the bicyclist on the right almost get hit before the driver takes over. sometimes it seems the tesla doesn't want the driver to take over. i'm trying. this driver had to hit the brakes when the tesla didn't understand a detour sign. ok. here it almost hit a truck. obviously, i had to take over. and here it swerves into an oncoming lane. look at that! often, the tesla doesn't know what it wants to do. what is it doing? or just doesn't know how to turn. jesus, oh my god! tesla's full self driving software for drivers and pedestrians, it's unsafe at any speed. tell congress to shut it down.

all right, we're back now with our "today" climate series and a fashion trend that really has nothing to do with looks cutting-edge clothing that's better for the environment. >> consumers want these sustainable options and morgan radford did a deep dive with local designers to find out more. >> it was interesting. i have to say, many of us are finally retiring all of the sweats that became a pandemic clothing staple. now there's a growing movement in fashion to reuse material that won't arm the planet and still look great both on and off the runway >> reporter: lights, camera and sustainable fashion. a new push for a cleaner,

greener more sustainable future from an industry long known for its impact on our environment. for someone who has never heard of sustainable fashion, how would you describe it to them? >> sustainable fashion was born within the fashion industry in order to redress a social and environmental balance. >> reporter: the founder of fashion revolution, an organization encouraging fashion brands and consumers to reduce their global footprint why do you think fashion needs a revolution >> in terms of monitorty, the fashion industry is incredibly old-fashioned. >> reporter: and images like these have caused consumers to take notice. the fashion industry makes up 4% of carbon emissions and throws out 92 million pounds of clothes a year which is why they're

investing in recycling materials. a new york-based designer runs her own small business dyeing and recycling clothes with plant-based products. >> how important is that reuse process in being sustainable >> i think it's extremely important. >> reporter: are you reusing items that you dye >> our clients will send us their old garments, we can dye it for you and you have a new item >> reporter: all plant-based. >> yes we're going to be making something that we're putting out there, it's important to do it with the most integrity that you can and in a way that really helps the planet >> reporter: and she hopes bigger fashion houses will follow suit. ever lane prides itself on radical transparency, sharing with consumers where their products come from. >> many companies don't know where their raw materials are

being sourced from we have to be able to do what we can within the supply chain and really work to start bettering it >> reporter: and buyers are taking notice. a recent study showed that 43% of gen z consumers shop with sustainability in mind and are willing to spend 10% more on sustainable products this designer who is a student at the fashion institute of technology says for her generation, it's important to remind companies that fashion and conscious consumerism can happen at the same time. as a future leader in this industry, what would you say to current leaders who maybe don't get why stability is so important. >> i think my generation, we're set on the values we want to see. >> reporter: that's why everything she's making comes from reused items. >> this is your professor's discarded arm sling and you're going to turn it into a jacket

>> reporter: it's the only way to make a real and lasting change how important is education in this process to achieving a sustainable future >> i think it's just the most important thing we can teach them right now. >> reporter: a push for a brighter future and a more sustainable one. you do not have to be a designer to get crafty at home. in fact, you can try repurposing an old shirt into a headband, for example. if you're donating used clothes that cannot be worn, you can find an organization that recycles fabrics reuse, repair and research brands that are sustainable and you can do that before you buy. >> great tips. >> i was going to do -- i was going to make masks out of my socks. she would love that. >> i'm not sure that's what they meant. >> morgan, thank you very much we like your dress.
