Kull fejn tmur tara bini, djar, appartamenti u vilel. Qisu rridu neqirduh l-ambjent tagħna u nisirquh għalina. X’se jgħidulna wliedna meta jaraw x’ħallejna? Inħarsu madwarna u nirriflettu ftit.

These photos depict development in Malta and how it affects the little bit of nature on our small island. If we continue like this, will we still have a place without buildings and development?

This trashcan found in Buskett Gardens is empty. There is absolutely nothing inside. People constantly visit Buskett Gardens for various reasons. Surely, they might need to dispose of something during their time there. So why isn’t the trashcan full? People need to be mindful of their waste. It is as if trashcans serve no purpose. This makes no sense.

This photo was taken at a site in Ħad-Dingli. Even though this was a particularly green area, with all the construction going on nowadays, buildings are everywhere and are starting to become an eyesore. Not only that, but in densely populated areas, many people use cars. This accounts for 61% of CO2 emissions from EU transport (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20190313STO31218/co2-emissions-from-cars-facts-and-figures-infographics) and in places with too many buildings and cars, and too little trees, this could lead to an increase in lung problems, like asthma. In a report released by Harvard Medical School and the Center for Health and the Global Environment, it was found that there was an increase in asthma by 160% from 1980 to 1994 among preschool children. This observation was linked to the global rise in CO2 emissions, affecting respiratory exposure to various atmospheric pollens, mold, and fungi.

These photos were taken at a site in Zurrieq where many pieces of debris could be found on the street. All this waste could get carried by the wind out to sea. 70% of our debris sinks into the ocean’s ecosystem, 15% floats, and 15% lands on our beaches. Regarding plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly. This is why we should never litter, as no matter where you are, the wind could blow your litter away, causing many problems elsewhere, like the 100 million marine creatures that die due to plastic waste alone. As always, prevention is better than cure, so let’s not cause the problem but prevent it! Statistics and sources were retrieved from (https://www.condorferries.co.uk/marine-ocean-pollution-statistics-facts#:~:text=70%25%20of%20our%20debris%20sinks,discarded%20in%20the%20sea%20yearly. )
