National Winning Photo 2010 – 5th: White vs Green

Mankind is now the number one cause of all the destruction happening on Earth. As well as trying to destroy each other on the battle-field, we are the cause of a series of other disasters to the environment such as filling up the environment with tonnes of bulky waste. In Malta we have five different civic amenity sites, which open every day and are free for the public. This project is in fact being part-financed through the European Union Structural Funds, with an estimated value of 4.6 Million Euros. Local councils also give their civilians a free service to pick up their bulky waste free of charge. Unfortunately, some people are not using these services but are putting away their rubbish everyone. We used to ask to improve civic amenity sites, now I suggest that we have to work on ENVIRONMENTAL and CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION.

Malta being a nation of devout Catholics, at the very centre of every village is a church. The very culture of the Maltese revolves around this one magnificent building; old men meet there to chat and while away hours with pipe in mouth, whilst during the weekend the church is filled with people attending mass.

The cost of development

Malta is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. Given its size, land is very limited and should be given great importance, especially when it comes to development. Unfortunately, sometimes, building projects, which should serve as part of the island's progression, leads to destruction of the environment. It is hence very important that the little natural environmental that we have left is preserved and taken care of.
