This picture was taken in Brighella street, Birkirkara. Dog waste bins without bottoms are quite useless and harmful to the environment because there would be nowhere to dispose of dog waste and so it ends up on the ground. To solve this problem we should inform the local council because it is its duty to provide bins for the benefit of dog owners and the health of citizens.

It is against the law to throw rubbish in fields, but some people do not listen.You can never enjoy nature without seeing some trash laying around.I think the government should handle this solution by appointing people [for example wardens] to check these places out and give the people who threw trash a fine.They also could put some recycling bins next to the field.I would really like to see the government do a big effort about this situation and maybe we can finally enjoy nature without any trash.
