Satiated Decorating the Sliema promenade was this unsightly mess. Just because a person has finished lunch and had his/her fill, does not mean that he/she can throw away the remains. The different types of waste shown in this photo are signs of irresponsibility. While we encourage anyone to recycle metal, plastic, paper and glass objects, we strongly urge to adopt the mentality of re-using and reducing.

Thousands of single use plastic bags for shopping!

This article is about the amount of single-use plastic bags we use every time we go shopping. A case study was carried out at a fruit and veg shop and the owner was questioned about the matter, together with some regular costumers. It is shocking to learn how many plastic bags one person can use during a single shopping trip! An alternative was pointed out for us to use instead of single-use plastic bags, mesh bags. This type of bag is reusable, washable and has holes to allow the fruit and veg to breathe while stored in the fridge. This would be a great way to help the environment with a simple change in our every day habits.

Introduction: How do we stop littering? First of all we have to be responsible of his proper actions, we have to care about this stuff! Otherwise the earth be destroyed if we don’t act now, do you part! Don’t take the trash out the day the day before because the garbage bag could break and the trash will come out and fly away in the streets or even in the sea! We could harm the animals not only on land but also in the sea! Imagine you drop a plastic bottle in the sea, it could be swallowed by a fish by accident and eventually killing it, litter also makes the sea dirtier, but worse part of it is that it will take 500 years for plastic to break down! Imagine all those innocent sea creatures getting harmed or even dying because of litter thrown in the sea.
