Let us acknowledge the importance of properly disposing of our waste. He who understands how a trash-can works is nowadays considered a mastermind. Recycling appropriately is not strenuous work. The effects of each plastic cup and water bottle left behind last up to 450 years. According to international studies, humans have created enough plastic since the end of the second world in 1945 to coat the Earth entirely in clingfilm. So let us not suffocate our own home; by recycling and being responsible citizens we can ensure that Earth no longer suffers due to the lack of care of humankind but instead flourishes and breathes.

At school, 5 small plastic bottles on average are thrown in the classroom recycling boxes daily. This means around 50 plastic bottles per day or 250 plastic bottles per week. Together we are discussing possible solutions to reduce this litter. Ideas that have been discussed include giving more information to students, encouraging all students to bring reusable bottles to school and installing a water dispensing machine.

After celebrating feasts, people usually head to fast food restaurants to have a quick meal. Many paper bags and cups are thrown away on the ground. The Valletta local council is in charge of cleaning the streets and a lot of money is spent to get them clean again. To reduce litter, people need to use the available facilities and not buy extra food because a lot of food is thrown away and wasted whilst knowing that there are people starving to death in the poor countries of the world.

Cigarette buds and cans

Many people in feasts smoke cigarettes and drink softdrinks from cans. After the celebration there usually is a large amount of cigarette buds thrown on the floor in corners of the streets. To reduce the amount of cigarette buds there should be ash trays or people should be given biodegradable paper cups to put their cigarette remains in them so then they throw them in the bins provided.

Waste thrown in public areas

awarded: Commended

A common problem that happens in feasts such as Carnival is that there aren’t enough bins next to stalls selling food or if there are bins, they are overflowing with trash. This leads to people throwing away their garbage in cardboard boxes or on the ground. To prevent this from happening, there should be an amount of bins in areas where food is prepared and they should be emptied regularly while the event is taking place.
