The massive cardboard structures painted in an explosion of screaming colours were giving a spectacular show on the Granaries of Floriana. The carnival floats obey the three rules:RECYCLE, REUSE, REDUCE because they use a lot of recycled material.The floats are made by wood,paper,iron,newspapers and cardboard.When the five-day festival is over they break the float and take the material that can be recycled.Then the participants start working to produce another elaborate float for next year. These brightly coloured floats dominate the local scenery during Carnival, whilst sending out one of the most important messages to public- that of sustainability since most of these floats are made from recycled materials. These floats are giving an example that recyling is useful and we can be creative and come up with innovative ideas from materials that otherwise end up piling our already massive landfills.

Humans look at things in different perspectives: some would say that the photo above is beautiful, some would focus on the large wave and say that it simply shows a rough bay but we are missing the positive aspect that really concerns us. The photo (taken at Saint Julian’s) shows a very small and beautiful bay that is covered with large and colorful pebbles. All moving man-made objects rely on energy but the thing is that the energy used may harm us and our environment. An example is fossil fuels that are used too often and in a very large amounts. We are currently running out of fossil fuels and we have to start using other sources of energy. One alternative source of energy is that generated from natural forces such as waves. Wave power can be used to turn turbines to generate electricity!

Wied il-Qlejgħa, or more commonly known as Chadwick Lakes is a place many Maltese are familiar with. Although it is not really a lake, but a valley, Chadwick Lakes still has more or less the same beauty of a lake, with an exception of streams, reservoirs and farmland. The streams one can find at Wied il-Qlejgħa consist of clear, fresh, filtered water. Unfortunately, some people who visit this valley are not touched by its beauty, and pollute the land to suit their liking. Other visitors illegally catch frogs, cut uncommon flowers and plants, and some others even capture insects and other animals to keep in captivity. Disgracefully, hunters only visit to hunt rare birds that rest during migration. Still, the Maltese people can’t admit that there are still people that disturb both the peace of the place and distort the course of nature. This is the River of Truth…

Siġġiewi (or Città Ferdinand) is a village in the southwestern part of Malta. It is situated on a plateau, a few kilometres away from Mdina, the ancient capital city of Malta, and 10 kilometres away from Valletta, the contemporary capital. Many people in this quaint village used to work as farmers and in fact some of the rural aspects prevail. Indeed this photo is taken from a field and shows a breathtaking view that surrounds Siggiewi. The maquis area shows pristine natural surroundings which are an asset for tourism. Tourism in Malta is important and many tourists who come to Malta come to Siggiewi to see the magnificent natural environment and its overwhelming beauty.

Imgiebah valley which lies at Selmun,has unique quaint features such as its U-shaped valley, the beach,the uplands and lowlands.It is one of the largest Natura 2000 sites.Blue clay hill slopes have been skillfully turned into terraced fields to make cultivate the preciously fertile soil. It hosts one of the only four Sclerophyll forest remnants in the Maltese islands, consisting of Holm Oak and Pine, rich in leaf litter and in forest undergrowth. Maquis areas dominated by Olive tree, Carob and Lentisk can be seen on the right-hand side. Opposite, stretches of rocky karstic ground with scattered pockets of soil trapped in the eroded limestone characterized the garrigue series,harbouring spiny and aromatic shrubs. Creating awareness about our natural surroundings would be the first step to increase sustainability efforts! Every one of us can give a hand to protect and conserve the environment. Let us really make a difference!
