At Tarxien Middle School the Minions went green thanks to Ms.Carmen Bonnici LSE supported by students. Old car tyres were reused as a decorative planter in our school and this embellished greatly our school environment. I suggest that other schools or other organisations follow suit even by using other recyclable materials.

Sometimes we over worry over small matters but our concerns re-the environment should never be underestimated. Considering the increasing number of motor vehicles in Malta, reusing old tyres as decorative planters is certainly an excellent idea which can be easily used in public playgrounds or as innovative street furniture.

As trees breathe in polluted air, a new life is just beginning. Air quality in the vicinity of our school is negatively affected by heavy traffic, so the need to plant more trees is highly recommended. In fact, at our school, ERA (Environment and Resources Authority) officials have recently installed apparatus to monitor levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) mostly produced by motor vehicles. Our school is participating in the European-wide project entitled Fair with Air at School – Citizen Science Project which involves the monitoring of air quality by students.

This photograph clearly shows the devastating effects of the strong gale force winds which hit Malta last February. An indigenous tree (Aleppo Pine) near our school was unfortunately uprooted. Such damage caused by natural forces are beyond our control but we can control the number of new buildings being constructed which are certainly hindering the few greenery left in our islands.

Whilst enjoying some free time at Joanne Gardens-Tarxien, I have come across this tree with a broken branch caused by the gale force winds which hit Malta last February. Fortunately, this tree survived and may the authorities ensure that more trees are planted around the island to make Malta greener and less polluted.
