Protecting Dwejra

Dwejra is a Natura 2000 site but unfortunately it is a very popular littering site. Walking down to Dwejra from San Lawrenz village thorugh the old path there are heaps of various sizes of rubble, debris, broken tiles and waste every few steps. It is a good thing that Fungus Rock is protected and it is illegal to go on it because at this rate it would end up as a dump site as well.

Wara li l-iskola tgħallimt dwar pjanti endemici u indiġeni ta’ Malta, ridt immur mixja fid-Dwejra biex nara ftit mil-pjanti li semmejna, speċjalment is-Sempreviva ta’ Għawdex li tikber fil-blat hemmek. Ħadt gost li għaraft is-Sempreviva, il-Ġiżi ta’ Malta u t-Tengħud tax-Xagħri imma sibna ukoll pjanti aljeni li qed jagħmlu ħafna ħsara u anke hafna kmamar żgħar li jintużaw mill-kaċċaturi biex flok jilqgħu l-għasafar għajjiena li jieqfu jistrieħu Għawdex meta jkunu jpassu jisparawlhom biex iżiduhom mal-kollezzjoni tagħhom ta’ għasafar ibbalzmati. Dan għaliex??

Attract the dragon to keep mosquitoes away

Neptume Project in Dock 1, Cospicua is an innovative and sustainable project meant to purify waste sewage water to irrigate the green areas of the promenade. However, the pond water used in the phytoremediation process can attract mosquitoes with the risk of spreading the Zika virus. Therefore, attracting dragonflies to the ponds can be a safe and natural way of controlling mosquitoes. Dragonflies might look like scary biters but in fact they can only harm mosquitoes. So planting proper plants in ponds can easily attract adult dragonflies which feed on adult mosquitoes. Dragonflies will also breed their larvae called “nymphs” in the ponds to feed on mosquito larvae. To guarantee this natural process, the ponds must be shallow at one end and deep at the other end respectively with more aquatic plants and flat rocks surrounding them. Dragonfly insects can help us keep the mosquito population in Cospicua under control.

It has become a common sight to see immigrants working as waste collectors, with building contractors and similar. Jobs which are normally considered as involving hard work or are not so desireable. Why is this so? Immigrants are not people of a lesser status. The question is, are these people at least being employed as required by law? Or are they unregistered and being given less then the minimum wage or have longer working hours?

All living things need some place to live. Unfortunately people produce a lot of waste and it can end up effecting the natural environment. In this case, this flushing dumped carelessly in Wied l-Infern, limits of Żebbuġ is an eyesore to all the hikers and drivers passing by. It’s true that small animals such as mice, rats or snakes and even insects can use this flushing as a shelter yet it will always remain an eyesore and it will stay there for years on end unless it is removed. Yet, it is worth noting that there is even worse and highly damaging litter, such as car batteries and other old or broken home appliances carelessly disposed of in abandoned fields or valleys. Humans must not be careless and should do there best to preserve the natural environment.

Metal Roots

What is a water pump doing in the countryside, dumped carelessly outside a field? This pump could have been easily disposed of at the civic amenity site instead of actually dumped in the open air. Just imagine the metal pump growing roots stretching beneath and on top of the soil. This pump is just a representative of all the other dumped rubbish found in the countryside. One must consider the fact that it takes an extremely long time for this metal to deteriorate one day. People must not be careless and preserve the environment by making abiding by the 3Rs all the way.

Aħna ngħixu f’dinja miżgħuda b’diversita’, fejn il-karattru, l-apparenza, it-talenti u l-personalitajiet jagħmluna unċi mill-kumplament ta’ madwarna. F’pajjiż demokratiku fejn hu msemmi għal ugwaljanza u tolleranza, huwa kapaċi jaċċetta nies b’karnaġjon differenti? Il-personalita’ jew l-apparenza qed taffetwa lilna l-Maltin? Possibli qatt ma’ ltqajna ma’ nies ta’ l-istess kulur tal-ġilda li jitkellmu b’mod goff, stramb jew ikunu egoisti? Nistaw nitfaw lil kulħadd taħt l-istess keffa? Fejn huma il-valuri bħal rispett, solidarjeta’ u tolleranza? L-ingredjenti ewlenin f’soċjeta serena huma l-għaqda, il-paċi u l-aċċettazzjoni.
