This photo shows one of many abandoned barbeques with waste left at L-Ahrax Tal-Mellieha. It is pity since l-Ahrax tal-Mellieha is a marvellous zone full of unique landscapes to the Maltese Islands and various ecosystems. The amount of barbeques left in this zone is uncanny. One cannot walk in this place for 5 minutes without seeing at least 6 abandoned barbeques along with other waste materials. I shot images of each abandoned barbeque and other waste I managed to see. This endeavour of mine felt like it was never going to end because each time I turned, I saw more waste. From what I saw it is crystal clear that nobody is doing anything about this, if there would be someone doing something about this I would not have seen a car within a crack of Upper Coralline Limestone. Apart from the car, as I already stated, the amount of abandoned barbeques is phenomenal so it is impossible not to see one. It is time we stop talking and act. If anymore waste will be added at L-Ahrax tal-mellieha, it will start flowing down the cliffs.
