As cities expand, more buildings rise, but at what cost? Excessive construction leads to air pollution, and the destruction of natural habitats. With fewer trees to absorb carbon dioxide and filter pollutants, the air we breathe becomes filled with dust, smoke, and harmful emissions from heavy machinery. We all deserve to breathe clean, fresh air—not air choked with pollution. Sustainable urban planning, greener building practices, and preserving green spaces can help us balance development with nature. Let’s build responsibly and ensure a healthier future for both people and the planet!

Today is Thursday. This black bag has to remain outside for two days because the black garbage bags will be collected next Saturday. Cats and dogs can easily tear this bag, which will result in waste scattered everywhere. This leaves a negative impact on the environment around us! For a sustainable and environmentally-friendly future, people must ensure to follow the waste collection schedule.

As a resident in an area where excessive construction is becoming a problem, I can underline the issues that residents nearby experience: Noise: People nearby are experiencing a lot of noise that can start as early as 6am in the morning till late in the afternoon. Pollution: Construction sites generate air pollution which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. Dust can easily enter people’s houses. Rubbish: Another problem is the rubbish, which increases with the number of residents. Parking: When increasing the number of properties, more parking will be needed, and fewer green spaces will remain

PLASTIC PERIL

We should recycle plastic more, as people are polluting the earth with plastic. Plastic never disappears; it just breaks down into very small pieces and sometimes it takes 20 to 500 years to break down to a certain level. Turtles are getting caught in this plastic, so I suggest not to throw any plastic, neither at the beach nor anywhere! When people burn plastic, it produces very bad smoke that can be dangerous for people, especially for those who are asthmatic. I hope more people learn not to litter so the air will be cleaner!

SAVING OUR MALTESE ECOSYSTEM

The photos show the damage and neglect in the Maltese countryside. A broken rubble wall lies scattered with plastic bottles and waste nearby, showing a lack of care for the environment. In another picture, discarded tyres are left among plants, damaging the natural beauty and harming wildlife. Illegal dumping like this destroys habitats for animals and pollutes the land. It also makes the countryside less enjoyable for people. This problem highlights the need for proper waste disposal and better respect for nature. Protecting Malta’s countryside is important to keep it clean and beautiful for future generations.

A HOME FOR EVERY DOG

I don’t like to see homeless dogs because they have no place to live and can die of hunger. It is heartbreaking to see them suffer on the streets. I think it is best to create a shelter for dogs in need and provide them with food to eat. By taking care of them, we can give them a chance to live safely and happily. Also, we can donate some clothes so that they can stay warm and comfortable—at least they can live a life like we do. Every small effort counts in making the world a better place for these helpless animals.
