Not all that glitters is gold! The shiny apple is coated in wax which is unnecessary and potentially toxic, even if it makes the apple appear more attractive. People tend to favour shiny ones – its appearance mimics freshness and flavour…but that is not necessarily the case! Eating natural produce that is not refined or processed is always a healthier option and poses less threats on our health and less demands on our planet. Even if they look less attractive, going for a natural option, the way mother nature intended, is often a better choice.

As civilisation develops, green areas and places of natural beauty are being compromised and are diminishing to drastic points. Our interaction with nature should leave environments in a healthy or better state, rather than damaging it.

This snail’s natural habitat is supposed to be surrounded by plants and other animals and not waste. The overuse of plastics and their careless disposal into our environment is leading to it having extensively infiltrated our food chain and natural spaces. Moreover, animals such as this snail are ending up in the wrong place such as in this case, the plastic bottle, and are eventually left to die.

During a Clean Up activity held earlier this March, the St Edward’s College, Malta Eko-Skola Committee supervised by their teachers Ms.Samantha Abela, Mr.Daniel Caruana Smith and with the help of Ms.Ghislaine Calleja from #GetTrashedMalta they encountered a very peculiar sight. A skink was trapped into a plastic water bottle. A day prior to the clean up it had rained and this discarded water bottle got filled with some water. This poor skink ventured inside it to drink the water and got trapped. By the time the boys found it, the skink was barely moving as it was tired from hours of struggling. The boys managed to help her slither out of the bottle and release it. The skink was quite surprised and happy to be out in the open again. It looked back at the boys a few seconds, perched on a rock, before running away. Rubbish, when improperly disposed

At school, 5 small plastic bottles on average are thrown in the classroom recycling boxes daily. This means around 50 plastic bottles per day or 250 plastic bottles per week. Together we are discussing possible solutions to reduce this litter. Ideas that have been discussed include giving more information to students, encouraging all students to bring reusable bottles to school and installing a water dispensing machine.

Food, disposable cups and paper bags

After celebrating feasts, people usually head to fast food restaurants to have a quick meal. Many paper bags and cups are thrown away on the ground. The Valletta local council is in charge of cleaning the streets and a lot of money is spent to get them clean again. To reduce litter, people need to use the available facilities and not buy extra food because a lot of food is thrown away and wasted whilst knowing that there are people starving to death in the poor countries of the world.
