Nurdles, the name of the, not so sweet, as it might sound, raw material of the plastic industry. The building blocks for plastic bottles, plastic bags and drinking straws – in fact almost anything made up from plastic. However, nurdles are also covering our beaches. It is estimated that 73% of beach litter is plastic. Ingestion of plastic kills more than 1,000,000 marine creatures each year, while humans end up eating thousands of microplastics through the consumption of seafood. Studies by the European Union and the University of Malta show that only ⅓ of the plastic used in Malta is being recycled. Most of the remaining ⅔ end up in the sea. So, let’s get over the hurdle and do away with the nurdle!

Why are people so reckless and irresponsible? Why do people throw litter in the environment they are living in? Why do people harm the environment and the creatures living there?

Litter is causing long-term harm to the few green spaces we have around our islands and also to the creatures living there. Ultimately it is the fault of those people who litter everywhere they go. Awareness, education and initiatives like clean-ups, can help tackle the problem.

It is so shameful that our countryside is full of litter. It is shameful that around the bins, the ground is full of litter. Why do people throw litter on the floor when there are bins around? Are we doing something to help our environment? Everyone has to do his part for a cleaner and greener planet.

Last Friday I went to Buskett with my friends and we were disappointed to see garbage all over the place. Whoever is doing this behaviour must STOP. It is a shame when people litter in Buskett because it will not remain a beautiful and safe place for a hike or a picnic. We saw rubbish even close to garbage bins. This shows how careless people are because instead of throwing rubbish in the bins, they just throw it without even looking, so the trash ends up right beside these bins. People need to start pulling up their sleeves and to start cleaning the environment. Leaving trash will wither the trees in Buskett. If we lose Buskett, we will harm ourselves, because trees give us oxygen and without oxygen we will not be able to live. I encourage everyone to be responsible and take care of the environment around us.
