This is not something which we wished for. Instead of plants and flowers growing, we have trash. We have to take care of the environment because even animals are being affected by this trash that is piling up in our nature. Animals are dying. Wildlife animals may be gone from the wild within our lifetime. Please take care of the wildlife animals as they are a big part of this world! Don`t be greedy it is time to be greeny!! Your voice matters!!

They noticed that there was waste of food and excessive use of single-use plastic as part of the Ninu l-Bninu Scheme for the distribution of fruit and vegetables in schools. They designed a poster to show what is happening at the moment and what they suggest could be the solution, while keeping in mind that healthy eating needs to be promoted in schools. They divided their poster into 9 sections and drew scenes from the school. Their suggestion is that the scheme would alternatively offer whole fruit instead of fruit which is chopped up and put in single-use plastic containers. They support their claim by saying that since fruit is not peeled it will last longer and there will be less waste of food and less plastic packaging which is ending

An interview was also carried out with the three Mayors of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea.
