This wind-pump lost its wheel during the last winter hurricane which hit our island. Situated in a private field along the road from Rabat to Dingli it is still needed today for pumping water using an alternative energy source for agricultural use. After contacting the Rabat Local Council, I was informed that funds were never allotted for the repair of such structures. However, the Ministry for Gozo has made a presentation to 18 people who, during 2009, have carried out restoration works on wind powered water pumps on their land. This work was related to a scheme launched by the same Ministry as an initiative for the eco-Gozo vision in May 2009. The aid granted represents 75% of the costs associated with the purchase of equipment and work connected with the rehabilitation of the machinery and structure. So why have the funds not been extended to our island too?

We aim to make the hunters conscious of what they are doing, probably unintentionally. We want them to know that if they leave behind their cartridges ‘skrataċ’ they are contaminating the soils and water aquifer with lead and plastic and we don’t want to let this happen any longer!

When I was just a little seed I asked Mother Nature, what will I be? Will I have flowers? Will I bear fruit? Here's what she said to me: Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be The future's not good for me Que Sera, Sera The environment’s not doing fine, you see. When I sprouted, I grew leaves I asked Mother Nature what lies ahead Will I have flowers, year after year? Here's what Mother Nature said: Que Sera, Sera,… Now I have seeds of my own They ask their mother, what will I be? Will I be cut? Will I be chopped? I tell them tearfully: Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be Unless you do something for me Que Sera, Sera The environment’s not doing fine, as you can see…

It was a beautiful afternoon, the few clouds in the sky were a fluffy white and the breeze was refreshingly cool as we made our way to Buskett. One of the greatest problems that the world is facing today is that of environmental pollution, increasing with every passing year and causing irreparable damage to the earth.Upon our arrival we were left speechless with the major human interference to the trees’ habitat which as the years go by they provide the perfect homes for thousands of species of plants and animals. Another trace of human interference is the pollution made by humans, as computer parts and several other wastes were thrown in this habitat.

Nature communicates with us with its own language. It doesn’t communicate with us in our language but in signs that we humans take for granted. The photo (taken in the limits of Ħaz Zebbuġ), shows a picture of the ruins of a room in a field after being destroyed by natural forces. By looking at this photo I could see a corner (that was once part of the room) that means that nature is telling us to bring an end to more destruction to our environment. One way is by controlling the amount of buildings being built. The message is clear – if we try to destroy nature, it will destroy us back. As you can see in the photo, the only standing part is a derelict corner which is slowly being crept over by wild plants.
