The Butterfly Effect

Do you know what the “Butterfly Effect” is? It’s something that time travellers do. It’s an effect that if you go back in time and change something, when you go back to the present something will be different. Nature did the same thing! For us, it went back in time to bring us the extinct starfish but as it came back the “Butterfly Effect” affected it and only brought the fossil back. Overall the message is that we should take care of the Maltese fossils a lot because they are very precious as they bring us the past!

A Restaurant’s invitation

This trash reeked of filth and had flies flying all over it…not a pleasant experience, especially at a restaurant! The owner of the restaurant dumped his trash right next to the tables of the establishment. This action was bad on all counts: bad for tourism, bad for the environment, bad for the restaurant, bad for our health. All he had to do is make use of the trash bins!

Fairtrade – what’s that?

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers, supporting the development of thriving farming and worker communities that have more control over their futures and protecting the environment in which they live and work. However, unfortunately, most people don’t know this… On interviewing people, aged between 25 and 40, it turned out that only 15% really knew what Fairtrade meant, although 22% of all the interviewees had a mistaken opinion about what Fairtrade is. On the other hand, 78% of those interviewed took it for granted that the workers involved in the production and processing of the food we consume are truly treated justly, without any corruption or irregularities taking place. Meanwhile, 19% were not certain whilst 3% believed that some things might not be as fair as should be.

It’s true, the Azure Window was a true gem, but its loss is not the end. Dwejra still contains various other treasures which tend not to be appreciated enough. The Maltese Everlasting, endemic to Dwejra, is but one example, Fungus Rock being another. The fossils bed, including the remains of sea shells, shark teeth and sea urchins, dating back from millions of years ago, in the area are also protected by the law. There are also the quaternary deposits and various other features. Law enforcement in the area and similar is a must. Hopefully swimming in the beautiful clean waters is also something to keep on enjoying.
