Caring for the environment is really caring for ourselves, but it needs to be done with understanding rather than superficial choices and activities. Each and every one of us needs to understand that maintaining a clean environment means that we are protecting ourselves and those around us, protecting wildlife and preventing pollution. We are responsible in leaving a clean and healthy planet to future generations.

In this image, a young boy sits at a table, his expression solemn and disheartened, surrounded only by disposable items. Plastic utensils, containers, and packaging dominate the scene, starkly contrasting with the boy’s forlorn demeanor. Through the boy’s eyes, we witness a reflection of the environmental crisis unfolding before us, where convenience often comes at the cost of sustainability. Amidst the amount of disposables, the image serves as a sobering reminder of the need to rethink our reliance on single-use items and embrace more eco-friendly alternatives.

In this poignant image, the skeletal remains of a fish lie stark against the bare shore, a silent testament to the cycle of life and death in the seas. The intricate bones, once part of a living creature thriving beneath the waves, now stand as a solitary relic washed ashore. The scene evokes contemplation on the fragility of life and the relentless force of nature, where even the mightiest creatures succumb to time and tide. Amidst the vast expanse of the beach, the fish’s skeleton serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the inevitable journey we all must undertake. As the sun rises in the distance, casting a warm glow upon the scene, it invites us to reflect on the mysteries of the sea and the fleeting nature of existence.

In this case, Żiblu, is an environmental hero.

During the English lesson our educators often initiate and facilitate debating discussions on national and global environmental issues. The aim is to help us students understand the importance of the environment and how it affects us. We are encouraged to read articles and research about some environmental topics and then we discuss them in class. We also prepare material on the topic like presentations, charts, drawings, posters and articles to help us reflect on our role as responsible, global citizens. My interest in this topic began during one of these discussions. I chose to write an article, and then my teacher encouraged me to participate in the YRE competition.
