F’dawn iż-żewġ stampi li qegħdin taraw huwa vandaliżmu fin-natura. Dan in-nuqqas ta’ responsabiltajiet se jikkawżaw ħafna ħsara u tniġġis fil-futur qarib. Annimali jistu immutu sempliċiment għax AĦNA IL-BNEDMIN ma nkunux responsabli ta’ dak li narmu. F’dawn iż-żewġ ritratti jgħidru plastic, bottijiet tal-luminata (kemm mimlijien u kemm vojta), injam, kartuni tal-ħalib u ħafna aktar affarijiet li jħamġu in-natura TAGĦNA STESS. Dan jista jaffetwa ukoll it-turizmu ta’ Malta dan għaliex li kieku jiġu it-turisti minn barra minn Malta u jagħraw din it-tip ta’ imġiba jispiċċa li t-turisti jonqsu bil-minuti. Aħna nistu’ nagħmlu differenza billi inżidu aktar bins biex dak li se narmu narmuh ġo fih. Forsi aħna qegħdin noqtluha n-natura, IMMA AĦNA STESS SE NŻALVAWA!

If you have rubbish and you want to get rid of it, do not just find a place and dump it there, especially if it is near private property or soil where plants grow.

Along bypass road in the direction towards Zejtun, a big water reservoir is contaminated by illegally dumped waste and grassy mosses. Heavy dump waste like bed mattresses, plastic and paper waste, broken glass and other illegal waste are continuously being thrown into this reservoir. In addition, the water reservoir has various cracks and each time it rains, the collected water drains out resulting in the loss of many gallons of water which could alternatively easily be used to irrigate the nearby fields. The vegetation and crops which grow in such fields continuously risk serious contamination due to the filthy water collected in this reservoir. Zejtun Local Council and the Malta Water Works were contacted to restore and clean up this water reservoir but the latter does not fall under their responsibility. Therefore, we recall on the private holder of this reservoir for immediate clean up and restoration of the reservoir.

No one can miss the heavy waste dump found in the area between Bulebel industrial area and bypass road when heading towards Zejtun. This area continuously suffers from contaminated heavy dump waste including television sets, broken glass, plastic and paper waste plus all sorts of other waste. Dumping waste is illegal not to mention an eye sore to the countryside. Moreover, it is detrimental to nearby fields, water resources and human health. The chemicals and non-biodegradable materials in the waste can affect the physical environment and the waterways by contaminating groundwater and soil. In this area, the illegal dumping of waste has become a huge environmental problem over the past years. Zejtun Local Council and the Malta Industrial Parks were contacted to clean up this illegal dump waste but this area does not fall under their responsibility. Therefore, we recall for an immediate clean up action by the responsible agency.
