An empty dustbin sits amidst a scattering of trash strewn carelessly on the ground, echoing a narrative of neglect and disregard for the environment. The stark contrast between the receptacle meant for waste and the litter surrounding it serves as a visual testament to the irresponsibility and disrespect of certain people. The scene invites contemplation on the consequences of apathy and the urgent need for collective action in waste management. We are prompted to confront our individual and collective responsibility in preserving the cleanliness and beauty of public spaces. Amidst the debris, the empty bin stands as a symbol of untapped potential, waiting to be filled with a renewed commitment to environmental care.

A long time ago, there were three siblings who were dolphins. Their names were Bubble, Star and Ocean. After losing their parents due to water pollution, that was the last straw so they set off on a mission to end this pollution. This however was a very long swim.

Jien bebbuxu Leah Pace Yr 5.1 Ċkejken, fraġli, diskużtanti, jaqq – dawn huma xi ftit mil-affarijiet li jsejjaħli meta jarani lbniedem. Nipprova ma ndejjaq lil ħadd. Storbju ma ngħamilx. L’hena tiegħi nintefa’ wara xi ħajt għad-dell, noqgħod għall-kwiet, protett, rillasat. Ħerqan nistenna x-xita niżla sabiex inkun nista’ niekol ikla ħaxix tajba u nirriproduċi. L’hena tiegħi niżżerżaq mal-ilma tax-xita fil-widien. Tlift ħafna mil-ħbieb tiegħi avolja nippruvaw ma ndejjqu lil ħadd. Min jipprova jixxutjana bħal ballun, min jipprova jgħaffiġna b’saqajh, min jgħaffiġna b’xi karozza, min jiġborna biex issajarna u dan l-aħħar sirna nsibu iktar ħmieġ u plastic flambjent tagħna. Mhux l-ewwel darba li xi wieħed minnha jeħel f’xi borża jew tazza tal-plastic! Sirna ngħixu f’ħajja vera perikoluża. Tgħallimt li fil-ħajja m’għandek taqta’ qalbek qatt. Bil-kalma u bil-mod tasal fejn għandek tasal. Basta ma tibżax u ma tħalli lil ħadd iwaqqfek. Għalhekk minn hawn ngħalaq billi ngħidlek, tarmix barra, ibża aktar għal ambjent, ibża għalina, u jekk tara xi borża, flixkun jew tazza tal-plastic fil-kampanja jew fil-wied, iġborha u tkun qed tgħin lilna u l-annimali kollha li jgħixu hawn barra.

Pollution is one of the planet and humanity’s worst enemies. Together we can contribute to have better air quality, and give more importance to tree planting to improve the quality of air and take it more seriously. Air pollution is not a joke. Air pollution will make you choke. #pollutionsolution
