Nathan had been eagerly looking forward to his trip to Ramla Bay, located in the northern part of the beautiful island of Gozo, for weeks. He had heard so much about the pristine beach and its clear turquoise waters. However, when he arrived in March, he was disappointed to find that there were not a lot of people there, but there was still a lot of litter. Nathan couldn’t believe the amount of garbage scattered around the beach. The sand was covered in plastic bags, empty bottles, and cigarette butts. He felt like the beach was crying out for help, as if it were a living entity that was being choked by the pollution. So, Nathan decided to use his voice and pretend to be the beach. At the end he shouted, “I am your beach not your ash tray!”
