Malta has a number of development applications for fuel stations on agricultural land which is classified not to be developed. These developments decrease Malta’s significant lack of open space and is contrary to Europe’s goal of placing an end-date to the sale of fossil-fuel cars. The three photographs depict: – a station developed on agricultural land taken through its security fence just prior to opening; – rusting excavation equipment as the development of a station in a rural area ceased some years ago; – fuel pumps on the pavement of a town’s main street seen through a car mirror.

The Folly of Developing New Vehicle Fuel Stations

awarded: 3rd place international, Best Entry

Malta has a number of development applications for fuel stations on agricultural land which is classified not to be developed. The argument for new fuel stations is based upon the ever-increasing number of registered vehicles, Malta having the third highest density of cars in the EU. Fuel station developments decrease Malta’s lack of open space on this small and crowded island. It is contrary to Europe’s goal of placing an end-date to the sale of fossil-fuel cars. Once new land is developed, then it is unlikely to be converted back to its original state for the benefit of all.

This plant is getting the water needed to grow but it is getting excess of it and so it is harming the plant which might eventually kill it. This small pond of water came from the rain that fell around this container thus water is being wasted instead of being used efficiently.
