I took this photo while out for a walk in the Maltese fields. The object in the photo is not only an eyesore but an example of litter dumped in public land which can lead to serious hazardous issues when left to degrade for a long period of time.
As time goes by, the toxins from the paint and the object itself will end up in the land nearby which could be cultivating crops for us to consume. Apart from the harm to the crops, it also has an effect on the wildlife in the region, killing flora and fauna which can be irreplaceable in the long run.
Litter creates problems in the environment and will eventually have an impact on our quality of life. We should respect nature and the environment because it belongs to all of us and to the future generations.
