On the way to Ghar Lapsi a large hill of construction waste is surely an eyesore to our natural environment. On contacting the Malta Environment and Resources Authority we were told that the area being referred to was previously a quarry which has recently been permitted to be infilled with inert construction material. The intention is to remove what has been a scar in the landscape for years. However, the infilling operations have breached the conditions of the permit. Recently the operator was required to rectify the situation on the ground and to contain its operations within the original boundary of the quarry. Further action may be taken if the operator does not follow the orders given. It seems that the eyesore is the result of a construction waste crisis in Malta. Many constructors are lamenting not finding enough proper places to deposit their waste.

Recently, I went to Ghar Lapsi with my family and there we saw lots of jellyfish in the sea, trapped in plastic. This photo reminds me of sea turtles. The turtle’s favourite food is jellyfish, so where there are lots of jellyfish, turtles might be close by. Turtles mistake plastic for jellyfish and often, they will eat the plastic which gets stuck in their stomach and sadly, they usually die. Remember to clean up after yourself!
