Plastic pollution in the ocean is one of the most significant environmental threats to marine life. Marine animals often mistake plastic for food or get entangled in it. This hinders them from moving and hunting for food resulting in starvation or drowning. Save our oceans and say no to plastic. Together we can make waves! This is the link to the video on Youtube:

It is about time that we look back onto our footprints and reconsider the path that we are taking. Is it possible to reverse things back to the way they were? Or we just have to keep moving forward?

Shall this be our new rule in nature? Should we simply walk on foot to enjoy it, and leave the natural environment in its original state? Or are we walking on foot just to sign the paperwork?

Who is the alien species? The prickly pear introduced from the Americas, the graffiti, or humans responsible for their presence? We were meant to be stewards of “our common home” the Earth but have unfortunately often failed miserably in this role.

Soil is an essential resource to which many do not give much thought. It can take thousands of years to form and is fundamental, directly and indirectly, to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Unfortunately, in our country, it is increasingly under threat. This video about soil in Malta was produced by Marie Therese Pavia and Aidan Gauci (University of Malta, Ġ.F Abela Junior College) as part of the Young Reporters for the Environment competition 2020. It investigates issues related to local soil so as to raise awareness and knowledge about this vital natural resource. The following is the link of the video:

Over the past few months, I have been helping a group of people with special needs by doing activities, every Friday evening. Our meeting place is provided by the parish chaplain. Amongst the many activities, I have decided to grow local oak trees, by re-using ice-cream cups, therefore teaching the people with special needs, the importance of trees, and how to re-use our waste food containers, rather than throwing them for recycling.
