I guess they missed the memo that glass is collected door to door on Fridays! Or is it because the bins are full and have not been emptied?

Shouldn’t it be logical that if you have trash but there is not trash bin you take your trash back home with you to dispose off properly? I mean you carried it to the picnic area when it was full and heavier. It should be easier to carry now that it is empty!

Just a couple of metres away!

The trash can is only a couple of metres away but still someone didn’t bother to dispose of his/her trash properly. Why? Is it laziness or plain apathy? Some people still don’t care enough for the people and the environment around.

Seems like a fun game looking for cigarette butts and microplastics and other trash in the sand but when you look at the amount of trash gathered then it’s not fun anymore. This was taken during a beach clean up. The number of cigarette butts collected was enormous.

Goodbye Mayo!

A turtle called Mayo is released back to the sea after months of rehabilitation. Everyone who had the opportunity to attend was so happy. But this would not have been needed if it wasn’t for human egoism. Mayo had ingested a fishing hook and was injured as well. Once again, we have human egoism leaving a bad impact on the environment. It’s a pity these beautiful creatures must suffer because of this.

In a world where everything is needed instantly, and time seems to go by so fast, disposable items seem to be the best solution. Or maybe it’s just laziness because it’s easier to just throw away. But what a problem to the environment this DISPOSABLE GENERATION is becoming!!

The first thing that caterpillars eat is their eggshell. On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. Caterpillars get creative when it comes to self-defence. Life at the bottom of the food chain can be tough, so caterpillars employ all kinds of strategies to avoid becoming a bird snack.

Chameleons are wonderfully odd reptiles. They change their skin colour for many reasons, such as to blend with their surroundings, to control their body temperature, when they are angry and trying to scare others. Planting more trees ensures a safe home to these endangered species in the Maltese Islands.
