Il-ġmiel ta’ pajjiżna ma jonqos qatt speċjalment f’dawk il-postijiet l-inqas affetwati mill-bnedmin. F’dan ir-ritratt naraw parti mill-irdumijiet li jinstabu madwar il-kosta Maltija. Anke jekk dan l-ambjent jidher pjuttost għeri, fih insibu pjanti rari bħal Widnet il-Baħar li ftit li xejn narawhom f’ambjenti oħra. Anke għasafar bħal Merill ibejjet f’dan l-ambjent. Ta’ spiss naraw turisti, kif ukoll Maltin jagħmlu xi passigata qrib dawn il-postijiet. Għalhekk għandna nibzgħu għall-irdumijiet billi ma nħammguhomx jew jingħataw permessi għal barrieri fil-qrib.

Methane digestion involves the decomposition of manure processing by-products, and other materials into effluent and biogas. Micro organisms perform the decomposition process in a methane digester, which can be designed in several ways. Once biogas is harvested from the processed manure, it can be run through an engine to generate electricity, used in place of natural gas, or flared. Many digesters are successfully operating in the U.S. and Europe. As digesters have grown in popularity in the U.S., so have the options for ownership and financing of digesters. A variety of incentives are available for digesters, construction and tax incentives also exist for manure supplied to digesters.

National Winning Photo 1st – Lazy Polluters?

submitted by St St Margaret College Verdala BSS Vella Ryan

This sign has been lying on the sea bed in St. George’s Bay, Birzebbugia, for the past two weeks. No one did actually care to retrieve it. According to the Local Council, since the object is in contact with sea water, it is the Malta Maritime Authority which is responsible. So calling the Maritime Authority, I was told that since it is a traffic sign, I had to contact the Roads Department instead. Having done so, I was forwarded to a gentleman, who patiently, explained that since it is a temporary road sign, he will contact the private contractor entrusted with the works near St George's Bay in order to recover the sign. The sign remains an eyesore, and apart from that everyone should be conscious nowadays of the effects of chemical, physical and biological variations in the sea water environment by the corrosion rates of metals.
