If we are going to continue this type of littering and every kind of pollution, we are going to have bad environment and a lot of diseases!

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of pictures of sea creatures stuck in plastic bags or tied around ropes, turtles eating plastic waste thinking that they are jellyfish, fish washing up on shore, dead with pieces of plastic in their mouths, whales or dolphins caught dead with plastic and ropes tied around their fins. Why is this happening?

It has become such a rarity to see such lovely creatures when you walk in the countryside because of our so-called progress. We keep destroying their habitat either by building or because of the decreasing water areas. It was a lovely surprise to meet Mr. Frog.

Not Enough Space

So many skips and yet it seems they’re still not enough for some people. It’s amazing and disgusting how, after so many years using bring-in sites, there are still some people who can’t use them properly! Laws should be enforced on such people. It’s the only way they will learn unfortunately.

Nathan had been eagerly looking forward to his trip to Ramla Bay, located in the northern part of the beautiful island of Gozo, for weeks. He had heard so much about the pristine beach and its clear turquoise waters. However, when he arrived in March, he was disappointed to find that there were not a lot of people there, but there was still a lot of litter. Nathan couldn’t believe the amount of garbage scattered around the beach. The sand was covered in plastic bags, empty bottles, and cigarette butts. He felt like the beach was crying out for help, as if it were a living entity that was being choked by the pollution. So, Nathan decided to use his voice and pretend to be the beach. At the end he shouted, “I am your beach not your ash tray!”

Trash Everywhere!

Many times, we find what is called accidental or unintentional litter, which usually falls from full up trash can, collection vehicles and pickup trucks or trash that is blown away by the wind. But this is surely not accidental. No one like to find trash at his door but it has to start with us – to dispose of trash properly.

When they were called disposable cups, they didn’t mean that once you’re ready you can leave them lying around!! It’s already bad enough that they are single use cups … but leaving them around littering the area is even worse.

Pollution from vehicles harms our health and contain greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Negative health effects include lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory infections. We must use more sustainable means of transport.

Hidden … in Plain Sight!

Why do people litter? Often, people litter simply because there isn’t a trash can anywhere nearby. Rather than uncomfortably carry their trash away with them, it’s easier to leave it behind. Such an irresponsible way of thinking. That is so lazy and careless. Carelessness makes people throw rubbish anywhere without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Many people do not realize the negative impact of littering on the environment.

Litter is dangerous to animals because they might ingest it, in addition to being unsightly and can ruin our experience of nature. Litter everywhere frequently finds its way into the sea.
