These photos were taken in the Valley called Wied Għomor, which connects San Ġwann and Swieqi. Is it fair to go on a walk to breathe fresh air and see rubbish everywhere instead?

The Raft of Pollution

Many people on Earth throw trash out into the ocean, but they are wrong since the ocean only has a limited amount of space and the trash will disappear after many years. Many people think that the ocean is so big that if they throw one piece of trash nothing will happen, but it is not as easy as it sounds. First, the ocean has a limited amount of space and second, most trash will only be able to biodegrade in hundreds of years. There is also the issue of sea creatures consuming trash like, for example, turtles eating plastic bags, because they think it is a jellyfish. At many of the Earth’s beaches we can find bits of cardboard or plastic either floating on the water or lying in the sand.

The barren-state condition of the Mediterranean subtidal rocky habitats due to the ever-reducing sea urchin density is a widespread wonder. Possibly due to overfishing of this consumable fishery resource, which locally is a delicacy. The aim of this photo creation is to raise awareness and create an opportunity to press action for the development of sustainable fishing and economy. This photo was created as part of our work on the Blue-Med Project and SDG 14 Life Below Water. We had the opportunity to interview a couple of local fishermen and one of them remarked on the ever-reducing sea urchin density due to over-fishing from divers using scuba gear. Sea urchins fetch a high price at the local markets because they are a delicacy and a popular dish at restaurants. To catch sea urchins from the sea floor one must dive several times and hold their breathe underwater, whereas, using scuba

This was all in the same area in Ta’ Qali! A flip flop on the floor beside grass; litter lying beside plants; wrapping amongst leaves and an empty packet of juice on the ground. We have to act fast – not next week, or tomorrow, or later today, but now!

The Earth isn’t in a good condition at the moment. The earth needs our HELP!! This is all because pollution, garbage, cutting trees, using plastic, no recycling and so much more. Garbage IS ONE Main ISSUE. Nowadays it’s very sad going to the countryside and all one can see is garbage in the plants, on the floor and in ponds. Plants and trees give us oxygen to breathe. Also we don’t want everywhere looking like a dump! So we can help by picking up the garbage left on the floor at the local park, countryside, beaches and lots more places. If you want to save the planet it’s now or never before it is too late! Once again the Earth needs our HELP!!

The Earth is suffering from a lot of pollution and it needs our help! Everyone can easily help the Earth! We should not litter and apart from helping the Earth we will be living in a better place without garbage on the street. We also need more plants as plants and trees provide oxygen to the world. We should stop cutting trees and destroying plants and throwing garbage away on the street. We need to save the Earth. We only have one Earth and the litter and garbage is doing so much damage. Stop Littering! It is doing harm to the environment and the wild animals too. If we stop littering the Earth will be cleaner and more plants, trees and flowers will grow and the world will be a better place.
