The Ekoskola Carnival Kilo Sale was a student-led initiative promoting sustainability and responsible consumption. It began by collecting donated carnival costumes to support students and families who may not afford new ones each year, later expanding to include clothing in good condition for all ages. At Ħal Għaxaq School, where carnival is highly valued, both students and teachers contributed. Over 300kg of clothing was collected and sold at €8 per kilo. Students actively organised, sorted items, and calculated prices, developing teamwork and numeracy skills. The sale was open to staff, families, and the Għaxaq community, and was also visited by the Mayor and Local Council representatives. Funds raised supported Ekoskola activities such as the orange juice sale and greenhouse regeneration. Remaining clothes were donated to a residential home in Żejtun and to Inspire Foundation. This initiative promoted inclusion, reduced waste, and encouraged responsible consumption through reusing clothes in good quality.

This video focuses on the idea that nearly one-third of all food produced is wasted, often because people prepare or serve more than they actually need. Using a reverse sequence, it shows food being “unthrown” and returned to the plate to highlight how easily waste happens in everyday situations like overfilling plates or cooking too much. The concept emphasizes that this waste is avoidable and encourages viewers to be more mindful by taking smaller portions, planning meals better, and valuing the food they have instead of taking it for granted.

Walking around I noticed some litter on the ground. I picked it up, and placed it in the correct bin. This simple act highlights how everyone can help protect the environment. Even small choices — like cleaning up waste — can inspire others and make our shared spaces cleaner and healthier.

We could spot lots of pieces of trash floating in the sea so we decided to collect as much as possible before placing it in the proper bin. This simple action shows how anyone can help protect marine life and keep our coasts clean. Even small efforts make a big difference in the fight against ocean pollution.

RESILSE This short video highlights the importance to separate right our waste. Putting food scraps in the general waste rather than in the organic bins have numerous harmful effects on our environment. If thrown wrongly, food will end up in landfills where it decomposes and produce methane which is a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change. Furthermore, one may consider preparing his own food buy planning ahead rather then buying ready-made take-away food which includes a lot of packaging, further harming the environment.

Plastic pollution in the ocean is one of the most significant environmental threats to marine life. Marine animals often mistake plastic for food or get entangled in it. This hinders them from moving and hunting for food resulting in starvation or drowning. Save our oceans and say no to plastic. Together we can make waves! This is the link to the video on Youtube:
