Whilst the dog is walking in the countryside, it finds a delicious meal waiting for him. Unfortunately, a lot of animals come across garbage bags as well as other wastes in the fields. They end up eating such food which can be harmful.

Waste is not managed properly and in this case the sofa could have been renovated and reused in a proper living room. A lot of people tend to put garbage bags next to skips instead of inside them, thus making it easier for animals to tear them off and take materials out of them. As a result, the surrounding environment will get soiled and all of the material can eventually be carried away.

Who Cares?

On the way to school, I have found this bone which has been there on the pavement for weeks. Somebody was really irresponsible by disposing of it near Tarxien Primary and Middle schools. This bone could be the source of a serious infection for young children coming to school or waiting for the school transport. Moreover, nobody cared to report this illegality to the authorities. Action was taken by informing the local council and the Cleansing Directorate to clean the area and by posting the photo on online media to make further pressure. This action proved successful as the bone was removed over the weekend. As a young reporter for the environment, I have also suggested the installation of CCTV cameras outside school premises to serve as a deterrent and curb illegal dumping.

Borage, stinging nettles and fennel are just a few from a wide variety of edible wild plants in the Maltese Islands. Traditionally these wild plants used to form the basis of culinary dishes and medicinal remedies. Unfortunately, nowadays such plants are simply considered as weeds mainly because of the hectic lifestyle most people lead. With just a little bit of imagination and research one can start making use of nature’s free healthy food resources.

Marine pollution including oil spills and waste dumped illegally into the sea is certainly a death sentence to marine creatures. More enforcement is needed possibly increasing fines to stop irresponsible people from doing these acts. Moreover, through educational campaigns, we will be safeguarding our seas for future generations.

This image makes us reflect how we are really caring for the marine environment. Oil and fuel spills are certainly a threat to marine biodiversity. Boat owners should be more responsible by doing regular maintenance work on their vessels and dispose of used oil safely.

Litter…A Bitter Taste

Tourists visiting Malta would certainly leave our islands with a bitter taste after seeing this litter being dumped by irresponsible people into the sea. Such litter takes years to decompose and marine creatures such as turtles could easily mistake plastic bags for jelly fish. Moreover this plastic debris is also a trap to these creatures. More enforcement is needed and higher fines should certainly be imposed.
