This photograph portrays the sad reality for the new generation whom are going to have to clean up after us. This photograph portrays a young boy who wants to save the world by cleaning up all the garbage on the streets and in the ocean and he is called Żiblu (Garbage Boy). ‘Żiblu’ in Maltese can be deemed offensive for some. In this case, Żiblu, is an environmental hero.

Why Do You Litter?

The photograph displays a drainpipe, a plastic bottle, and other trash. The planet is littered with rubbish, with 2.12 billion tonnes thrown yearly. Why are we boosting it? Our careless littering is endangering many species and harming ecosystems. Why are we causing harm to nature and animals? We must exercise caution to protect our natural green spaces. Otherwise, the planet will change from green to grey. What can we do to preserve our green spaces? We can avoid littering, discourage others from littering, and adequately separate our litter.

Chaotic Construction and Cars

This photo was taken at a site in Ħad-Dingli. Even though this was a particularly green area, with all the construction going on nowadays, buildings are everywhere and are starting to become an eyesore. Not only that, but in densely populated areas, many people use cars. This accounts for 61% of CO2 emissions from EU transport (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20190313STO31218/co2-emissions-from-cars-facts-and-figures-infographics) and in places with too many buildings and cars, and too little trees, this could lead to an increase in lung problems, like asthma. In a report released by Harvard Medical School and the Center for Health and the Global Environment, it was found that there was an increase in asthma by 160% from 1980 to 1994 among preschool children. This observation was linked to the global rise in CO2 emissions, affecting respiratory exposure to various atmospheric pollens, mold, and fungi. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3196488/) Let us not be the problem but the solution.

If You Litter, Our Future Will be Bitter

Unfortunately, we are facing this catastrophic issue due to people’s laziness. Around the Maltese islands, an outrageous 91% of litter is found on land and in our seas (https://thinkmagazine.mt/the-great-big-floating-landfill/ ). This is not only ruining the habitats of innocent animals, but it’s also affecting us. Not only does it pollute land and water, but it also pollutes the air around us. 40% of litter on earth is burned in the open air, which releases toxic emissions which are detrimental to our health (https://www.texasdisposal.com/blog/the-real-cost-of-littering/#:~:text=Researchers%20estimate%20that%20more%20than,starting%20base%20for%20acid%20rain). Why do we litter? Why are we doing this to ourselves and the ecosystems around us?
