As trees breathe in polluted air, a new life is just beginning. Air quality in the vicinity of our school is negatively affected by heavy traffic, so the need to plant more trees is highly recommended. In fact, at our school, ERA (Environment and Resources Authority) officials have recently installed apparatus to monitor levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) mostly produced by motor vehicles. Our school is participating in the European-wide project entitled Fair with Air at School – Citizen Science Project which involves the monitoring of air quality by students.

This photograph clearly shows the devastating effects of the strong gale force winds which hit Malta last February. An indigenous tree (Aleppo Pine) near our school was unfortunately uprooted. Such damage caused by natural forces are beyond our control but we can control the number of new buildings being constructed which are certainly hindering the few greenery left in our islands.

Whilst enjoying some free time at Joanne Gardens-Tarxien, I have come across this tree with a broken branch caused by the gale force winds which hit Malta last February. Fortunately, this tree survived and may the authorities ensure that more trees are planted around the island to make Malta greener and less polluted.

Should we rest our minds when seeing this sight in a public garden? May the authorities ensure that for every fallen tree, new trees are planted.

This receipt is showing the increase in the expenses we are paying due to the huge amount of waste that is produced in our environment. Therefore the use of natural resources in our everyday life must be accompanied by serious efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle these materials. Only that way can we lessen the burden of ourselves, our development on nature and our environment.
