Caption: As part of the Ekoday activities held at our school on the 15th of March 2018, we invited a local artist forming part of the band Tribali. Students, accompanied by parents, brought with them used plastic and metal containers to re-use them as musical instruments- shakers and bongos. Peter Paul Galea, the musician, assisted by Simon Curmi an official from Wasterserv, conducted a percussion session where students enthusiastically played their musical instruments forming harmony from scrap material. No matter the value of their instruments, the atmosphere created was fantastic!! May more people find creative ways to re-use waste.

Caption: On the 15th of March 2018, our school organised an EkoDay to raise awareness re-waste management. A WasteServ official gave an informative presentation to both students and parents how to reduce, re-use and recycle waste to protect the environment. For example, parents together with students can prepare school lunches in lunch boxes instead of paper or plastic bags. Although this is just one small action, it will certainly have a large impact on waste minimisation eventually reducing landfill use.

As a young reporter for the environment, I investigated the impact of plastic waste on our environment. Figures show that we are surely in a crisis and if we keep ignoring this issue we will end up buried ourselves with our own waste. Plastic waste is certainly detrimental to our health and to several animal species. In this article several suggestions are made including: using glass instead of plastic bottles, using re-usable plastic bottles and introduce refundable deposit systems on plastic bottles.

Last October 2017, our school organised a special event inviting special guests…our own pets!! As young reporters for the environment, we had the chance to report on this activity by interviewing people (including our Head of School) and taking photos. Through our work, we need to send a strong message against animal cruelty. We strongly believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s quote: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
