Our aim is to encourage families in our school community (and as many people as possible) to start using the No Junk Mail stickers. This should result in the elimination of hundreds of kilos of paper waste, eventually encouraging producers of such magazines and leaflets to find ways that are more sustainable and environmental friendly to reach potential costumers.

This rare crab is at risk of extinction as it only has two remaining strong populations. The clip shows a public survey about this crab species to have a look at how much the local people know about their national invertebrate. Then an interview with Nature Trust takes place about the threats the crabs face, as well as the breeding programme that they have just started in order to save our National invertebrate, the Maltese Freshwater Crab.
