“Due to our limited land mass, more high-rise buildings will be constructed in the future.” – Parliamentary Secretary for Planning and the Property Market. The Real Estate in Malta is booming, and our views have changed into a surreal landscape. Everywhere you look you see apartments, planning authority sites, road construction, and the list goes on. What is happening to the limited amount of green areas we have in Malta? Is the construction more important than the greenery which gives off oxygen essential for us to live? Is it really that important? Meanwhile us students are trying to save what is left using one break at a time, planting one crop at a time….

Over the past few months, I have been helping a group of people with special needs by doing activities, every Friday evening. Our meeting place is provided by the parish chaplain. Amongst the many activities, I have decided to grow local oak trees, by re-using ice-cream cups, therefore teaching the people with special needs, the importance of trees, and how to re-use our waste food containers, rather than throwing them for recycling.

At Tarxien Middle School the Minions went green thanks to Ms.Carmen Bonnici LSE supported by students. Old car tyres were reused as a decorative planter in our school and this embellished greatly our school environment. I suggest that other schools or other organisations follow suit even by using other recyclable materials.

Sometimes we over worry over small matters but our concerns re-the environment should never be underestimated. Considering the increasing number of motor vehicles in Malta, reusing old tyres as decorative planters is certainly an excellent idea which can be easily used in public playgrounds or as innovative street furniture.

As trees breathe in polluted air, a new life is just beginning. Air quality in the vicinity of our school is negatively affected by heavy traffic, so the need to plant more trees is highly recommended. In fact, at our school, ERA (Environment and Resources Authority) officials have recently installed apparatus to monitor levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) mostly produced by motor vehicles. Our school is participating in the European-wide project entitled Fair with Air at School – Citizen Science Project which involves the monitoring of air quality by students.

The sorry state of some beautiful old houses in Sliema is brought into perspective in this photo. Most houses are not lived in and they serve as rubbish dumps attracting rodents, insects while being an eyesore to the community.

Is this where we want to live? Is this how we want to live? NO. We have to create a brighter future for ourselves.

Let us acknowledge the importance of properly disposing of our waste. He who understands how a trash-can works is nowadays considered a mastermind. Recycling appropriately is not strenuous work. The effects of each plastic cup and water bottle left behind last up to 450 years. According to international studies, humans have created enough plastic since the end of the second world in 1945 to coat the Earth entirely in clingfilm. So let us not suffocate our own home; by recycling and being responsible citizens we can ensure that Earth no longer suffers due to the lack of care of humankind but instead flourishes and breathes.
