Who do you think can be sent by the wall when we throw something like this and ruin the environmental site?

It’s true, the Azure Window was a true gem, but its loss is not the end. Dwejra still contains various other treasures which tend not to be appreciated enough. The Maltese Everlasting, endemic to Dwejra, is but one example, Fungus Rock being another. The fossils bed, including the remains of sea shells, shark teeth and sea urchins, dating back from millions of years ago, in the area are also protected by the law. There are also the quaternary deposits and various other features. Law enforcement in the area and similar is a must. Hopefully swimming in the beautiful clean waters is also something to keep on enjoying.

A firm part of our culture, the Maltese lace was first produced mainly by women, young and old, to make extra money. However, today only the old persist in making the exquisite Maltese lace and displaying it to tourists. The young have mostly abandoned this beautiful craft, to be replaced by gadgets and going out with friends. Is the Maltese lace not attractive enough?

An alien species, the Cape Sorrell, known locally as l-Ingliża, has taken over the countryside. It was reportedly first imported from South Africa by an English lady, but it is evident from the patches of yellow flower how much it has expanded in number. Care should be taken to avoid the spread of invasive alien species which are destroying the indigenous and endemic plants around.

Formed under the sea by pressure from above millions of years ago, the Maltese rocks are crumbling back into dust once more, this time due to the natural elements, mainly wind and sea erosion. The fossils, strong though cracked nd broken, remind us of the resistance nature creates to survive sharing a habitat with human beings.

A shop proudly displays the Fairtrade logo explaining its meaning and intentions yet none of the products displayed have the official fair trade logo on them.  On asking the shop attendant, she insisted that products are Fairtrade certified, bought from Fairtrade fairs and imported from Madasgascar.  How can customers be sure that products are really Fairtrade with the money going in the right pockets?   Before buying fair trade products, customers are encouraged to ask for Fairtrade certification if the product does not show the official Fairtrade logo.

L-isem Wied il-Kbir jindika lok ta’ ħażna kbira ta’ ilma imma sfortunatament ilma mhux iżomm xejn għax maż-żmien dan imtela’ ħama, trab, ħmieġ u ħamrija li tinġarr mal-ilma tax-xita tant li jinsab mimli sa fuq bil-ħaxix li kiber fih u ma baqax post fejn jinżamm l-ilma tax-xita mill-lqugħ flok jibqa’ nieżel u jibqa’ sejjer ġol-baħar. Riżorsa ta’ ilma naturali mitlufa.
