You ride the bike to reduce pollution. You ride the bike to exercise. You ride the bike because it’s fun. But the real reason is that while everyone is stuck in a huge line of traffic, the bicycle rider passes by undisturbed. Just as they say … Slow but sure wins the race!

This is how traditional and old buildings are being buried among high modern buildings. Old houses, which were so typical of the Maltese village are being pulled down and replaced by huge apartments reaching for the sky. Even the beautiful Maltese stone is being replaced by the dull concrete bricks. Such a pity!

Whether it is called a Sanitary Landfill or a Landfill Site or any other fancy name … a garbage dump is always a garbage dump, and it is simply a place used by everyone in the community to get rid of unwanted trash. It is always unsightly. Waste is disposed of in a manner that does not protect the environment, is subject to open burning, and is exposed to the elements, and scavengers.
