It is an oxymoronic scene visible in this picture. On one hand, bring in sites are shown; some even with multiple bins (such as the brown bin- denoting glass disposal), whilst on the other hand; rubbish is seen strewn on the floor carelessly just a few inches away from their respective bins. The culprit to blame is us humans. Our carelessness and thoughtlessness is resulting in these vile acts which could be potential threats to nature and its contained life. Education of the masses should take place, because very clearly; the respective bins are empty. Therefore; with some thought we can fix this! If it would still be a recurring problem; then we could at least propose that the recycling waste is collected more frequently.

The Perfect Way to Protect Our Countryside

Is this the best way to protect our fields? Is barb wire better than rubble wall? Could this barb wire be dangerous to animals and other species? Does it rust and the residue ends up in our soil, in our water table, eaten by organisms that carry the harm along the food chain? Or perhaps it is a decoration – a flower arrangement to remind us that our lives is full of flowers but then we opt to add the thorns? Adding pollution and dangerous things in our own countryside means adding problems to our own lives.

Isn’t Malta decorated enough with concrete?

Everyone knows that the Maltese islands are very highly populated and built. Are we so irresponsible as to decorate the only few countryside areas that we still have with such concrete? Do we humans not understand that we are destroying even more parts from our own lungs? Apart from the fact that producers (plants, trees etc) produce food for the food web, they also remove carbon dioxide and give us oxygen. Kill more green areas and kill our own lungs.

Oil Tanks in Fields

Oil tanks do a lot of harm to the ecosystem becuase when they rust, this ends up in the soil and can be very harmful to living things that eat it. Barb wire is also very dangerous. All these things should be removed from the fields and countryside and apart from removing danger, eyesores will also be removed as they are very ugly.

What’s on the Menu?

The current domestic waste collection system is different than before; where it used to be collected on a daily basis, since it is currently being collected three days weekly. Albeit, there is a larger produce of rubbish to be collected. Due to this, people have blatantly felt the need to discard their waste so as not to leave it degenerating in their own private homes. Therefore; they dispose of their domestic waste in nature’s homes; that is; the surrounding environment, which houses a lot of creatures. Also, if instead of the burden of dumping this along the promenade on the way to Delimara; they could have done a better job and disposed of it accordingly; the people responsible would have done themselves and nature a gratifying favour.
