It is never a dull moment walking along the countryside! Unfortunately it was the ‘carpenter’s’ turn to litter this rural road. Such litter can easily be taken to Civic Amenity Sites which are found in several places around the island.

What is your litter footprint?

submitted by St. Augustine College : Sean Zerafa Galea  for 11-14
campaign: Litter Less Campaign Entry
dissemination(s): newspaper, school magazine
filed under Photos Reporting photo
awarded: Participation

Each litter item which you generate contributes to your litter footprint, so dispose of unwanted items wisely. For example, old car supplies should not be throw away outside but taken to a Civic Amenity Site: by reusing or recycling them, we save on raw materials and energy.

Jaqaw se naqgħu f’Ħaġar Qim?

Bejn l-Imnajdra u Ħaġar Qim hemm passaġġ iffrekwentat minn Maltin u turisti. Dan il-passaġġ huwa xi ftit perikoluż minħabba li qiegħed f’ livell aktar għoli mil-bqija tal-art tal-madwar, għalhekk huwa faċli li t- tfal jaqgħu fil-ġenb tiegħu kif wieħed jista’ jara fir-ritratt. Nissuġġerixxi li l-ġnub jimtlew bil-ħamrija biex jieħu l-istess livell u fl-istess ħin jistgħu jitħawwlu xi pjanti, b’ hekk ikunu qed isebbħu l-ambjent.

Il-Buskett – l-isbaħ masġar li għandna. Instema’ bebbuxu jgħajjat: Waqqgħuli d-dar! Stairway li ma jwassalx għal Heaven Jerrycans, pajp tal-ilma u flixkun tal-laundry detergent. Tgħid il-Buskett huwa xi bring-in site? Tazzi, platti tal-plastik u pakketti tal-ikel. Għalxejn ħawwilniehom, l-ebda siġra tat-tazzi ma’ telgħet Xi darba kien saqaf ta’ x’imkien.

Refocus and reduce….No to Junk Mail!

submitted by St. Nicholas College Rabat MIddle School : Eco-schools Committee  for 11-14
campaign: Litter Less Campaign Entry
dissemination(s): Made into a leaflet and distributed to people we found in the Rabat square., other, school media, website
filed under Articles
awarded: 1st place international, 1st place Litter less Campaign

We wrote this article to spread the word about the worrying data we collected about the local Junk Mail situation during our Litter-Less research. We managed to enroll 9 families in our school community and they agreed to keep the junk mail they received over a period of two months. We then weighed that mail and calculated the amount the families would have collected over a year. We also estimated how much junk mail would have been collected if we had to multiply the results to the number of dwellings in Malta. Moreover we estimated the number of trees that would have to be cut down to create all that paper that will end up as Junk Mail. The results we obtained were mind blowing and all this after the massive ‘Sort it out’ campaign. Are we really sorting it out?

Shame on us shows a snap shop of a too common situation in our countryside where irresponsible individuals just dump the waste that they do not want without realizing that damage that they are causing. Photo taken limits of Siggiewi.

Home Clearance in the Countryside

filed under Photos Reporting photo
awarded: Commended

This photo was taken in the countryside close to Siggiewi. I was surprised to find this type of waste since it was not common trash but rather good home stuff like shoes and cake tins. It seems that someone was clearing a house and just dumped all its contents in the countryside. He or she didn’t care less.
