Malta one of the smallest nations in the EU with the highest population density, despite its tiny size, has a very high rate of car usage. Being a student myself I decided to investigate why bikes to commute are not so popular. I investigated this by interviewing the president of the NGO Bicycle Advocacy Group BAG, my college Principal, Transport Malta (TM), Infrastructure Malta (IM) and the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects, Dr. Ian Borg.

TUNNEL VISION?

submitted by San Anton School : Elena Castaldi Paris, Nina Mamo  for 11-14

awarded: Commended

The proposed project of an underwater tunnel between mainlnd malta and the sister island of Gozo will leave a negative environmental impact on the sea and land. The digging and dredging needed for the project will disturb habitats and destroy ecosystems in the area. Gozo offers unique characteristics that are diverse from Mlata.

Will this be jeopardized if the tunnel link materialises and Gozo will be turned into a smaller version of hectic mainland Malta? Give citizens a voice and see what the majority says!
