Nurdles are small plastic pellets which are used to make nearly all our plastic products, but many end up washing up on our shores. Marine life is severely threatened by these small pieces of plastic. The creatures that make up the base of the marine food chain, such as krill, are prematurely dying by choking on nurdles.

Definitely NOT food for fish! Plastics leach toxic chemicals, and also attract and accumulate other toxins. These toxic chemicals end up in our bodies through the food chain, causing various health problems such as cancer.

5 minutes of use versus 500 years of decomposition. Is it worth it? We do not really need to use straws, and if we do, we should ask for paper straws, or take our own bamboo or metal straws.

Bejn l-Imnajdra u Ħaġar Qim hemm passaġġ iffrekwentat minn Maltin u turisti. Dan il-passaġġ huwa xi ftit perikoluż minħabba li qiegħed f’ livell aktar għoli mil-bqija tal-art tal-madwar, għalhekk huwa faċli li t- tfal jaqgħu fil-ġenb tiegħu kif wieħed jista’ jara fir-ritratt. Nissuġġerixxi li l-ġnub jimtlew bil-ħamrija biex jieħu l-istess livell u fl-istess ħin jistgħu jitħawwlu xi pjanti, b’ hekk ikunu qed isebbħu l-ambjent.

The students were encouraged to use recycling material to build their carnival costume. A competition amongst all the classes (40 classes in) was organised in the main school hall. Unfortunately I cannot upload other photos. Sorry, but this webpage is very limited.

Don’t throw trash in the sea because it can harm animals. Don’t throw plastic in the sea because it can kill turtles. Put your stuff in the bin not in the sea because it can make the sea very dirty and can make loads of damage. We have to take care of our planet.

This photo depicts heart-shaped littered plastic bottle embedded in the clay slopes, on a hillside in Ghajn Tuffieha. It is a symbol of one of the major threats to our planet. The main concern is the accumulation of plastic in the environment and the time it takes to degrade. Once it is broken down, the smaller pieces which are called microplastics enter the diet of living organisms such as birds and fish, and eventually, our own food. As a solution, we must REDUCE the amount of plastic we use. An example of this is the banning of single use plastic. Plastic waste generated must be disposed of responsibly ideally for recycling rather than landfilling.
