Scattered litter from broken bins is turning our beaches and seas into a deadly trap – as all the litter is suffocating and taking over the environment.

Remember when you throw your cigarette butts on the ground, that nobody will come to pick them up. They will end up in the sea.

This photograph taken in Rdum Majjiesa, Mellieha shows the amount and type of waste that is being washed to our shores. The rocky bay where the photograph was taken is somewhat difficult to access, and would be pristine were it not for the plastic waste being washed ashore.

PVR stands for plastic vs reusables. The reusable cup has a living plant in it whilst the reusable straw has light on it showing that this is the cup and the straw that need to be used. 16 billion disposable coffee cups are used every year. These are coated with plastic to laminate the inside and they have plastic lids which just adds insult to injury!

Plastic that has been collected from the sea and a shell n’ rock recycling symbol. In other words, recycle plastic, don’t throw it in the sea. As a solution to what we are seeing in the photo, Australians found a very interesting way to save water from plastic pollution. It consists of a net (not the one shown on the photo) placed on the outlet of a drainage pipe that helps to capture plastic and keep the environment protected from contamination. The city authorities started by installing two nets and were surprised by the result, as their new filtration system managed to catch over 800 pounds of garbage within some weeks. The nets costed approximately 10,000 dollars each, but the new filtration system proves that small things matter. Focusing on them can have a significant and positive impact on our environment and humanity in general.

If we can mistake plastic for plants, what do sea animals mistake it for? Sea turtles and other marine creatures mistake plastics and other garbage as food (such as jellyfish) and ingest it. This mistake causes blockages within their digestive system and eventual death.
