The students are being made aware about waste reduction and the quantity of waste around us, thus, we are instilling our students a strong sense of wanting to leave the world a better place by reducing the quantity of waste. Therefore, they are bringing their lunch in a lunch box together with a drinking flask instead of a bottle of water and a cloth napkin. In doing so, in each and every classroom waste is considerably reduced. We totally have eliminated all the wrappings for our lunches. Besides this, to enhance the importance of waste minimisation this activity was followed by collected thousands of bottle caps from the students’ homes and their neighbours. These later were donated to charity.

Kuxjenza Ambjentali – Flimkien biex innaqsu l-konsum tal-iskart

Throughout the past years we used to bring the plastic water bottles to drink from during lunch time and when the need arises. This was done until we realised that we are harming our environment as we were consuming too much waste. So we decided that everyone should bring a flask instead of a plastic water bottle. This flask can be used and reused over and over again. Thus head of school took the initiative to install a ‘home reverse osmosis’ system so that we will be able to drink tap water. A water tap has been installed in one of the school yards so that we will be able to drink during lunch time and whenever we like. By taking this initiative we are reducing the amount of waste.

Kontu tafu li aħna wieħed mill-pajjiżi Ewropej li niġġeneraw ammont mhux ħażin ta’ skart? Kull persuna awtomatikament tiġġenera ammont ta’ skart kukjum. Dan l-iskart jintbagħad il-‘landfill’ li din dejjem qed tiżdied. Dan ma jfissirx li mhux qed jiġu implimentati programmi għat-tnaqqis tal-iskart, anzi f’dawn l-aħħar snin il-pajjiż tagħna għamel ħafna kambjanet għall-aħjar f’dan il-qasam. Aħna t-tfal konxji ħafna ta’ dan u ġewwa l-iskola tagħna naħdmu flimkien sabiex dan l-ammont li aħna niġġeneraw nippruvaw innaqsuh. Flimkien matul is-sena nimplimentaw diversi attivitajiet li bihom nkunu nistgħu nagħmlu dan. Dan isir flmkien bħala komunita’ tal-iskola kif ukoll magħna ijipparteċipaw ukoll il-ġenituri tagħna, u xi nies oħra tal-lokal. Dan nagħmluh għaliex dak li nitgħallmu aħna nippruvaw ngħadduh lil ħaddieħor f’azzjonijiet prattiċi ta’ kuljum sabiex inħarsu dejjem aktar l-ambjent ta’ madwarna.

Five loggerhead turtles-Rosy, Ricardo, Spartacus, Kiko and Bizu were released last November from the Blue Flag beach of Paradise Bay Hotel at Ċirkewwa. These marine turtles were found injured in our sea after swallowing fishing hooks, nylon and fishing lines. They were given the necessary medical treatment for several weeks. A key solution to protect these creatures is by educating the younger generation. We have to keep our sea clean from waste especially plastic bags because every year a number of turtles die suffocated by mistaking plastic bags for jellyfish. With our help, these marine species can live longer in cleaner seas.

This video, accompanied by the epic music of Howard Shore (best known for the music of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’), relates both the positive and negative sides of nature. It begins with nature at its best, then suddenly illustrates the work of a certain ‘newcomer’. This is the litter and pollution that we all know too well. The video mentions that the ‘newcomer’ is us humans who contribute to pollution. After seeing both the positive and the negative, we are faced with the instructions to return the environment to its original and beautiful state.

Videos 11-14 years Commended Entry – Save Wood

dissemination(s): school media, website
filed under Video Clips

In Malta wood is used to make balconies, doors, boats and sheds. Salvu the carpenter explained in an interview that wood can be restored to its original state by first scratching off the paint, treating the wood with chemicals to get rid of any termites and then polishing the wood again. By restoring wood people will be helping the economy, the environment and saving old Maltese furniture. The main advantage today is that wood restoration can be done much faster today that it was done in the past.
