This article will focus on the importance of trees in our life and that of our Mother Earth. It will speak about a project initiated by our school, St.Albert the Great College, to create more green space in Valletta Malta’s capital city. The aim of the project is three fols- to give us students the chance to work hands on with nature,to promote awareness with all our class-mates and to be able to pass a living message to other people to think about and preserve trees.

When one research the definition of a fertiliser the most frequent answer is a substance which helps the plant to grow by supplying the necessary minerals. Yet, one has to make an important distinction between organic and inorganic fertilisers. Being natural, organic fertilisers harm the environment much less compared to inorganic ones. This is because; they are made up from natural sources such as manure and compost. On the other hand, inorganic fertilizers cause fertiliser burns, water pollution by the leaching of nitrates leading to health problems such as the blue baby syndrome and also increase the amount of pests. So, think twice what the best option is… getting healthier plants with some more waiting time for their development or getting plants bigger at a faster rate but causing health problems and a great deal of harm to the environment?

By restoring wood people will be helping the economy, the environment and saving old Maltese furniture. The main advantage today is that wood restoration can be done much faster today that it was done in the past.
