Be Drastic Cut Plastic

awarded: 3rd place Litter less campaign, Finalist, WasteServ Award

Plastics are inexpensive and long-lasting, and as a result levels of plastic production by humans are high. However, the chemical structure of most plastics makes them resistant to many natural processes of degradation meaning they take long to degrade, if ever. Together, these two factors have led to an excessive amount of plastic pollution in the environment. All of this stirred in the students an urge to bring single use plastic to a halt. In an effort to reduce the adverse effects of plastic in the natural environment the students came up with their Be Drastic Cut Plastic Campaign. Through their campaign they are now encouraging people to reduce their use of plastic bags – by giving out mesh bags.

The Folly of Developing New Vehicle Fuel Stations

submitted by G. F. Abela Junior College : Elise, Muscat  for 15-18
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): newspaper, school media, website
filed under Articles
awarded: 3rd place international, Best Entry

Malta has a number of development applications for fuel stations on agricultural land which is classified not to be developed. The argument for new fuel stations is based upon the ever-increasing number of registered vehicles, Malta having the third highest density of cars in the EU. Fuel station developments decrease Malta’s lack of open space on this small and crowded island. It is contrary to Europe’s goal of placing an end-date to the sale of fossil-fuel cars. Once new land is developed, then it is unlikely to be converted back to its original state for the benefit of all.
