Choked by Cars: How Malta is Trying to Breathe Again

submitted by St. Aloysius College Secondary School : Zack Spiteri  for 11-14
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): school media, website
filed under Articles

Zack Spiteri shares his concerns about Malta’s growing traffic and pollution problems. He describes how cars have taken over the small island, making it harder for kids to play, people to breathe clean air, and nature to thrive. With more cars than people and thousands of old, polluting vehicles on the roads, Malta is facing serious environmental challenges. Zack talks about government efforts like offering money to people who give up their cars, promoting electric vehicles, and making public transport free. However, he believes that real change will only come if everyone works together—by using bikes, buses, and walking more.                   Zack dreams of a cleaner, quieter Malta where birdsong replaces car horns, and he encourages everyone to help protect the island’s future.
