Cigarettes are not only harming the active smoker but also the individuals nearby…furthermore irresponsible individuals who litter both the packets and the cigarette buts in the streets are contributing to a large pollution and littering problem. Such litter tends to end up carried with rain or wind and end up blocking the street gutters or actually end up polluting oceans too.

Where there is rain, the snail will follow! The snail is usually regarded as pest as it ‘ruins’ our produce…what shall we refer to the humanity for exploiting the one Earth we have? Is it important to recognize the importance of all organisms in a natural food chain and if needed one shall opt for a biological pest control or the old method of removing by hand rather than introducing chemicals which will harm other organisms as well.

The painted frog, the only amphibian species on our islands, camouflages to its natural surroundings. The cigarette butt also seems to camouflage but this is releasing toxins in the freshwater which is disturbing the fragile ecosystem.
