Nowadays, most of us take our surroundings for granted, children aren’t being given enough good examples as to how we can take care of our planet. If we were able to experience life in the 1950’s, we would be surrounded with trees, and global warming wouldn’t be such a big problem. Nowadays it’s not so common for houses to have plants and flowers since our lifestyles became so busy, that we wouldn’t even be able to find the time to water our plants. So most people simply decide to not get a plant at all. We have also built a lot of new buildings recently and we seem to not be able to find the space for things such as trees and various plants.

People throw away plastic items and these break down into bits. These bits of plastic might be tiny but they are very harmful when washed into the sea. Sea creatures mistake them for krill and swallow them. When we throw away a plastic object we are showing lack of respect for the creatures sharing our planet in our seas and oceans!

The rubble wall makes a huge part of the Maltese culture and the rural environment. It is a pity that in some areas, its efficiency is not appreciated enough. In this picture, the rubble wall has been replaced by the building of bricks to speed up work. The craft of building rubble walls is done by choosing rocks of different size and shape, which are then placed gently with caution and precision on top of each other. This is very beneficial to the environment due to the fact that it stops the wind from spoiling the crops but at the same time it lets air pass through to the soil. It also serves as a habitat to various small animals, such as the Maltese wall lizard. Why are we avoiding the use of the traditional method to let in new methods which are such an eyesore?
