Global warming is the greatest threat known to humankind. Are we too late to make a change? Our ignorance and our silence are evident in our daily lives. Ice sheets and glaciers are shrinking, temperatures are rising, and species are in danger. We increase the earth’s temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and farming livestock. This leads to more significant amounts of greenhouse gases, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. According to NASA, without significant action, global temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 °C to 4.5 °C (4.5 °F to 8 °F) by 2100. Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Our responsibility is to do everything we can to protect and save the planet.

Let me start by introducing myself – my name is Benjamin Calleja Falzon (Benji in short), I live in Mellieha and will be turning 11 years old this year. I am in Year 6 at De La Salle College, Malta and I’ve recently joined the Young Reports for the Environment (YRE) Malta community. For those of you who do not know what this is, YRE is a global programme designed for students with the main aim being to carry out investigations on local environmental issues and propose solutions through reporting and photojournalism. I have decided to tackle the growing problem of illegal dumping on our island, specifically tiles in our ocean 🌊. Through this page my mission is to spread awareness on the subject of illegal dumping and hope to inspire others to start doing simple things to help protect the earth 🌍. link to Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/tilesfromtheocean

Nathan had been eagerly looking forward to his trip to Ramla Bay, located in the northern part of the beautiful island of Gozo, for weeks. He had heard so much about the pristine beach and its clear turquoise waters. However, when he arrived in March, he was disappointed to find that there were not a lot of people there, but there was still a lot of litter. Nathan couldn’t believe the amount of garbage scattered around the beach. The sand was covered in plastic bags, empty bottles, and cigarette butts. He felt like the beach was crying out for help, as if it were a living entity that was being choked by the pollution. So, Nathan decided to use his voice and pretend to be the beach. At the end he shouted, “I am your beach not your ash tray!”
