Now even nature can enjoy the films we watch. Nature can eat what we do not like, since it is becoming our favourite dustbin. Mother Nature is spoilt with the choices we give her of clothes to wear.

The great craftsmanship of our ancestors was brought to light by the restoration works that have been carried out for Valletta 18. It is remarkable to be able to view the intricate details of the work in the stone and wood as can be seen in the photo of Palazzo Ferreria built at he end of the 19th century. Well done to the people working with the Restoration Department. We look forward to seeing more facades around the Maltese Islands being given a facelift as well. Such projects will ensure that these buildings are conserved for future generations for more people will appreciate the architectural styles used in the past.

Balloon release seems to be a must to mark the opening/closure of an event. Many have been to report how bad a habit this is, especially for marine creatures which end up entangled in the remnants of balloons and strings. The eco-school committee at Gozo College Middle school put forward a solution to stop all this. Why not releasing trained pigeons instead? Just like balloons they go up and come down but without creating any litter or pose a danger to other species.

Stormy winds unveil the sea litter at Cospicua Dock

Recently, strong winds hit the Maltese islands and the rough sea unveiled ample litter floating in Cospicua Dock. The floating litter consisted of trash and household toxic substances that are improperly disposed of on land or in water. Water cans, plastic bottles and cups as well as oil cans, spray metal bottles, ropes and other forms of litter have been seen floating at Cospicua Dock. This constitutes an eye sore for passers-by along the Cospicua Dock promenade. Litter which ends up in the sea can travel long distances owing to strong currents and winds. It can directly affect marine life and birds, get caught in fishing nets, damage boat motors and smells bad. Furthermore, plastic bags and plastic wrap can easily be swallowed by fish and birds and suffocate them. After contacting the Cospicua Local Council, the necessary steps were taken to clean up the litter at Cospicua Dock.

Why can’t I go to where I am supposed to be? You cannot go because there is a lot of pollution in the sand and around you and if you go in the bins you will still be replaced.

In this Photo YOU can see exactly what there is in the sand! What YOU are throwing in the sand instead of putting in the bins, will eventually go in the water and the living things in the water will eat it, then when YOU eat fish YOU will eat the things that YOU decided to throw in the sand.
