If a dust bin is full, find another one. The floor is not where litter should be.

Why can’t I go to where I am supposed to be? You cannot go because there is a lot of pollution in the sand and around you and if you go in the bins you will still be replaced.

In this Photo YOU can see exactly what there is in the sand! What YOU are throwing in the sand instead of putting in the bins, will eventually go in the water and the living things in the water will eat it, then when YOU eat fish YOU will eat the things that YOU decided to throw in the sand.

Caption: As part of the Ekoday activities held at our school on the 15th of March 2018, we invited a local artist forming part of the band Tribali. Students, accompanied by parents, brought with them used plastic and metal containers to re-use them as musical instruments- shakers and bongos. Peter Paul Galea, the musician, assisted by Simon Curmi an official from Wasterserv, conducted a percussion session where students enthusiastically played their musical instruments forming harmony from scrap material. No matter the value of their instruments, the atmosphere created was fantastic!! May more people find creative ways to re-use waste.

Caption: On the 15th of March 2018, our school organised an EkoDay to raise awareness re-waste management. A WasteServ official gave an informative presentation to both students and parents how to reduce, re-use and recycle waste to protect the environment. For example, parents together with students can prepare school lunches in lunch boxes instead of paper or plastic bags. Although this is just one small action, it will certainly have a large impact on waste minimisation eventually reducing landfill use.

Burying Ourselves

As a young reporter for the environment, I investigated the impact of plastic waste on our environment. Figures show that we are surely in a crisis and if we keep ignoring this issue we will end up buried ourselves with our own waste. Plastic waste is certainly detrimental to our health and to several animal species. In this article several suggestions are made including: using glass instead of plastic bottles, using re-usable plastic bottles and introduce refundable deposit systems on plastic bottles.

How should burnt oil be thrown away? Can we recycle it? These are the questions that our students asked and researched after noticing the amount of oil that is thrown away. The research involved internet research, vox pops, an online survey, interviews to WasteServ and an interview to the Mayor of the locality. Towards the end of the video the students created a short tutorial on how oil should be disposed of correctly.

If the environment was karma, we would be in a bigger mess than this. Let’s prevent an apocalyptic future by littering less and protecting the environment.
