The podcast is about Water Scarcity and Food Security. Eko skola committee researched the topic and a member from the Manikata Agricultural Cooperative was invited to give a talk to the committee about the topic. The students asked questions during the talk on the research that was previously done. This was followed by a podcast recorded in a studio where two members of the Eko skola committee discussed the topic with Dr. Mario Cardona. It was a good experience for these two Year 6 students to do a recording of Podcast at a studio. https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210/view/video/61640657840101?sync_id=0#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8 https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8

Our Bee-utiful Environment – Written by Kate Gatt Taliana Philippa Cascun and Carla Camilleri

This article is based on an interview with a beekeeper who helped explain why bees are so important. Maltese honeybees are special because they only live in Malta and help plants grow by carrying pollen from one flower to another. Without bees, many fruits, vegetables and even chocolate would be hard to find! Bees are in danger because buildings are replacing their homes, pollution makes them sick, and flowers sometimes bloom at the wrong time. We can help by planting bee friendly flowers, keeping nature clean, giving bees water, and avoiding harmful chemicals. Bees love flowers like clover, wild thyme, capers, wild fennel, daisies and poppies. At school, we planted flowers and learned how to build bee hotels. Bees are amazing: they have five eyes, some live only a few weeks, and they even dance to communicate! Protecting bees helps keep nature healthy.

Dingli Is Disappearing – Who Will Save It?

Dingli is a beautiful place with fresh air, quiet countryside, and amazing cliffs. But lately, it is facing many problems. Too many new buildings and roads are being built, which destroy fields, wildlife habitats, and the natural countryside. More cars and buses are causing noise and air pollution, making the area less peaceful. Litter and even illegal construction waste are being left behind, harming animals and spoiling nature. Tourists sometimes walk in the wrong places, damaging plants and soil. Weak rules and poor enforcement make these problems worse. To protect Dingli, we should limit construction, add more bins, remind visitors to stay on the paths, and encourage people to use buses instead of cars. Planting trees and enforcing environmental laws can help nature recover. If everyone works together, we can keep Dingli safe, clean, and beautiful for the future.

The Ekoskola Carnival Kilo Sale was a student-led initiative promoting sustainability and responsible consumption. It began by collecting donated carnival costumes to support students and families who may not afford new ones each year, later expanding to include clothing in good condition for all ages. At Ħal Għaxaq School, where carnival is highly valued, both students and teachers contributed. Over 300kg of clothing was collected and sold at €8 per kilo. Students actively organised, sorted items, and calculated prices, developing teamwork and numeracy skills. The sale was open to staff, families, and the Għaxaq community, and was also visited by the Mayor and Local Council representatives. Funds raised supported Ekoskola activities such as the orange juice sale and greenhouse regeneration. Remaining clothes were donated to a residential home in Żejtun and to Inspire Foundation. This initiative promoted inclusion, reduced waste, and encouraged responsible consumption through reusing clothes in good quality.   Part 2 https://youtube.com/shorts/1tt7-UUruow Part 3 https://youtube.com/shorts/Zw9KZDFGIik?feature=share   https://www.facebook.com/reel/821342437614976

Climate change is making it harder and more expensive to grow and access food. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and disrupted supply chains damage crops, limit production, and increase prices. As the climate continues to warm, millions of people risk facing hunger and food insecurity unless urgent action is taken.

This simple action shows how anyone can help protect marine life and keep our coasts clean. Even small efforts make a big difference in the fight against ocean pollution.

Our Countryside is not a Trash Bin

I believe if everyone does a small part, we can make big changes. I feel sad when I see litter and mess, but I think we can fix our mistakes. One day, hopefully, when someone takes a photo there, we will only see blue sea, green plants and happy people, and no more trash.
