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
