Do you know what you eat from the sea? Do you know what you meet while swimming? Do you know what you step on while walking on the sand? The sea brings ashore all types of garbage highlighting the importance of having clean seas, bays and sandy beaches to safeguard our own lives and that of various creatures, animals and microorganisms. The presence of plastics, wood, iron bars, cigarette buts, paper, and hundreds of other materials pose health risks both to humans and other living creatures. Thus, the concept of having a clean marine environment is highly important.

This photo story, depicts the life cycle of a rose that has been uprooted to be given as a gift for Valentine’s day. The lifespan of this rose, has been shortened as it’s natural growth process has been interrupted. If this rose was left in its original place, it would have had a healthier appearance, continued to grow taller and keeps on blooming. Keep it in mind to gift a plant rather than a single flower next valentine’s day, since it will last longer.

PLASTIC PERIL

We should recycle plastic more, as people are polluting the earth with plastic. Plastic never disappears; it just breaks down into very small pieces and sometimes it takes 20 to 500 years to break down to a certain level. Turtles are getting caught in this plastic, so I suggest not to throw any plastic, neither at the beach nor anywhere! When people burn plastic, it produces very bad smoke that can be dangerous for people, especially for those who are asthmatic. I hope more people learn not to litter so the air will be cleaner!

The photos show the damage and neglect in the Maltese countryside. A broken rubble wall lies scattered with plastic bottles and waste nearby, showing a lack of care for the environment. In another picture, discarded tyres are left among plants, damaging the natural beauty and harming wildlife. Illegal dumping like this destroys habitats for animals and pollutes the land. It also makes the countryside less enjoyable for people. This problem highlights the need for proper waste disposal and better respect for nature. Protecting Malta’s countryside is important to keep it clean and beautiful for future generations.
