It feels like Malta has become a permanent construction site. From local news it is evident that local councils, NGOs are inundated with complaints by residents about the many inconveniences caused by the construction industry. However, these seem to fall on deaf ears and greedy developers are not only abusing our land but also workers. The information used to create this video was taken from information on a few articles recently published on local newspapers and photographs taken by the author himself. The aim of this video is to show the urgent state of the situation on both the environment and society.. This craze to create iconic exclusive buildings and high-rise developments, makes me question its sustainability and what will my country look like in a few years from now.

Statistics show that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. The reality is that we are already drowning in rubbish and if we don’t do something, the situation can and will get much worse. We won’t even be able to have a relaxing day at the beach without seeing all kinds of litter such as plastic bags, cigarette butts, takeaway boxes and microplastic. So next time you’re going for a swim, do your part to help the planet.

These are some micro-plastics found on the beach. Many scientists are saying that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish, and that is unfortunatley true. Due to the food chain, these micro-plastics are also finding ways into our bodies. The fish eat the plastic and we eat the fish. We need to take action immediately! A simple way of avoiding this is by recycling and using reusable items instead of straws, plastic bags and so many more. Always remember: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
