What happened to our precious world? Is there really anything left to see here? Construction is one of the largest industries in Malta. The high demand for property development in Malta is having a significant impact on the island’s natural environment. One of the main concerns is the loss of green spaces and the fragmentation of habitats due to urbanization. Additionally, the construction process can lead to soil erosion, water and noise pollution and can have negative effects on local biodiversity. Furthermore, construction activities generate large amounts of waste, which can be difficult to manage and dispose of in a sustainable manner. While the Maltese government has introduced regulations to minimize the environmental impact of construction, there is still much work to be done to ensure that construction activities are carried out in a sustainable and responsible way that preserves Malta’s natural environment for future generations. Building excessive buildings everywhere is ruining our natural environment, filling our hometowns with apartment blocks, offices, casinos and hotels. What about our new generations? What oxygen are we breathing? When are we going to stop building unsustainably? Are we ready to start taking down built-up areas and return them to nature, by planting trees instead?

As you can see Big Bobo is eating the rubbish. When you put your rubbish on the floor you would not only be littering but making Big Bobo starve. Don`t let him starve, help him keep healthy by throwing any garbage in the bin and NOT on the floor. When garbage is on the floor it might end up in the sea where a lot of animals might think it is food and eat or get stuck in any garbage that you were too lazy to get up and throw it in the bin. DON`T LET BIG BOBO STARVE!?

The picture shows that there’s so much plastic in the ocean, that the fish are almost becoming plastic themselves by the amounts of plastic they devour every day!

Year 6.1 took part in the GLOBE Program to gather surface temperature data. We used a handheld Helect Infrared Thermometer to record the heat of the surface of 5 different sites within the school. We chose 5 different sites which have different types of surfaces. One site is soil and grass in the shade; one has soil and grass in the sun; one has cement which is in the school yard and one has asphalt which is in the main road in front of our school. We collected data for 5 days for 3 months. We did December, January and February. We took 9 different readings of each site. We wrote all data on a sheet, then we inputted all the data on the GLOBE site. The aim of this research is to understand how different surfaces radiate energy. We discovered that temperature on natural surfaces like soil is cooler, especially with wet grass. The highest temperature we recorded was on asphalt. In the end we wrote this report.

By this picture we are trying to show that many people are ignoring plastic. We can see a lot of plastic on our greenery and people are not doing anything about it. We should recycle all this plastic as it protects the environment. Plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources, and also the ecosystem. This plastic usually ends up in the ocean and harm marine life.
