People in Malta are enjoying a high standard of living. This is resulting in buying more things than actually needed and then throwing them away at the first opportunity. This is resulting in the waste of resources.

Time Machine

Gozo is known as the place where time stands still… narrow winding streets, alley ways, old ladies knitting or lacing and even with the key dangling in the door locks. Unfortunately, even the bad habit of spoiling the natural beauty of the island seems to be part of an old culture. Or is it? Why keep on disposing of unwanted belongings in the countryside? It was certainly no choice of this car, trapped in a back to the future machine.

The Maltese countryside is rich with a variety of landscapes containing various endemic species of flora and fauna. The eyes have a lot to feast on. Considering the size of the islands in one walk one gets to see the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, stunning cliffs, sandy beaches, vegetated hills and unfortunately more then one heap of trash dumped unceremoniously in the heart of the countryside. Time goes by and still this powerful urge to spoil the natural environment hasn’t been controlled.

Oh! What a nice thought! Providing toast to the snails, snakes and other wildlife! It should be common knowledge that they do not appreciate it. Why keep on insisting to throw away things in the open spaces as if it is the right place to get rid of unwanted items?

Coffee cups and fast food boxes are amongst the most common roadside litter found. The two tyres are just an addition to make the picture more real. The main problem is that most people tend to ignore litter and not bother to take action. It is wrong to think one is too small to make a difference. As Bette Reese said: “If you think that you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.” It is time to become active against litter. What are you waiting for?

Hide and Seek

An empty beer bottle rests on a bed of bougainvillea flowers. If it is not removed by someone who cares for the environment, it will stay there forever. Do people know how big is the damage done by littering?

Doing it Blindly

Certain areas in different localities have always been prone to littering. Local councils have for long been trying hard to tackle this problem in various ways including setting up signs, promising fines, the revoking of the driving licence, and similar to discourage the improper disposal of waste. This however does not seem to be effective enough. One must not forget that what goes around comes around at the end of the day.

We All Fall Down

New technologies, modern gadgets and high standards of living indicate how advanced and developed the population is. However, the urge to spoil the countryside with bulk littering shows clearly the contrary. The tendency is to fall back to the same old primitive habit of being careless and irresponsible citizens.

Commercial pea seeds covered in chemicals which gives it its bright red colour in contrast to the pale-coloured organic seeds. Even though the red colour may be more attractive, it does not mean that it is healthier.

Nature always finds a way

When we make the roads smooth with tarmac or concrete we often forget that the rain can create a problem when too much water comes down and has nowhere to go. Nature always finds ways of conserving water in every nook and cranny. We should be inspired and think about creating water reservoirs for every smooth surface we create, including roads and buildings.
