In this picture we can see rubbish dumped in a private property in Fgura, exactly behind the yard of a house.The owner of this property objected about very unpleasant smells and occasionally he found rats and all types of insects.Having no pride for the environment, some people have access to this property and discard all their rubbish there.Unfortunately the owner is not talking any action about the rubbish because the situation remained the same.We must be environmental conscious that if we don’ t see any posters with regards to the environment, we should take it for granted that the rubbish should be thrown in the right recycling bags and placed in the right place and not thrown anywhere we like and leave all types of animals and insects make a feast with this rubbish.Private properties are not a dumping site!Education is the best!

This image explains how some citizens in Zejtun were careless and ignored the sign in front of them saying in the Maltese language ‘Jekk joghgbok tarmix hawn’ that means please do not throw rubbish here. They were not looking after the environment and were careless enough to fill a street infront of a Play Park with their rubbish and dirt.

These photos/videos were taken in Gnien Wied Blandun in Fgura. Unfortunately the place is dirty and vandalised, which is a shame. It is unsafe for children because often there are syringes on the ground. Until four years ago, there was a set of swings, a slide and a jungle gym. They were removed because they were deemed unsafe. The pond has been empty and vandalised for years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4petkSBg6L8&feature=youtu.be More money in hand go green by using RENEWABLE ENERGY and benefit from cheaper bills today. Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in three distinct areas: electricity generation, hot water and motor fuels. Renewable energy creates three times more jobs than fossil fuels. If it could be properly harnessed, there’s enough sunlight that falls on the earth in just one hour to meet the world’s energy demands for a whole year! Our whole energy problem would be solved if we could somehow find a way to harness solar energy more efficiently . Unlike fossil fuels, renewable sources of energy like hydropower, wind and solar do not directly emit greenhouse gases. Scientists believe that greenhouse gasses are the culprits behind global warming. When it comes to saving energy at home, there are many options to keep your energy bill low. it may be time to consider incorporating clean energy into your home energy-saving strategy. SOLAR PANELS ,If you’ve made your home as energy-efficient as possible and are looking for new opportunities to reduce your energy consumption, it may be a good time to go solar. With advancements in technology and the expansion of the solar industry .Not in a home that can support a rooftop solar system? It may be worth considering a community shared solar energy project. In this setup, community members band together to purchase a collective solar energy system. Each community owner gets a share of the power generated by the solar installation Whilst you had the time to read this short brief paragraph, 1 in every 10 family’s around the world installed solar panels and went green and started benefiting from cheaper bills and from cleaner air around them, and what about you ? Make the change for your benefit and that of your children. WHY NOT IN MALTA? WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
