Another use for the environment

In certain places in Malta people go to have fun but they leave their waste behind. As we can see in the picture, some ignorant people left bottles full of used motor oil and half a destroyed chair. What do you think will the tourists say about Malta when they see such things? Will this kind of behavior give a good impression of the Maltese environment, as a beautiful one? Sitting down and just blaming the people who are responsible for these actions, will not help improve this environmental problem. We need to take action as soon as possible. The consequences of this vandalism to the environment would be devastating if we do nothing now! One of the problems related to this kind of behavior is the extinction of endemic flora and fauna. Some solutions could be: raising the fines for people who are caught vandalising the environment, organising cleaning-up campaigns and telling people more about the effects left upon the environment due to our irresponsible behaviour.
