We wrote this article to spread the word about the worrying data we collected about the local Junk Mail situation during our Litter-Less research. We managed to enroll 9 families in our school community and they agreed to keep the junk mail they received over a period of two months. We then weighed that mail and calculated the amount the families would have collected over a year. We also estimated how much junk mail would have been collected if we had to multiply the results to the number of dwellings in Malta. Moreover we estimated the number of trees that would have to be cut down to create all that paper that will end up as Junk Mail. The results we obtained were mind blowing and all this after the massive ‘Sort it out’ campaign. Are we really sorting it out?

This article focuses on the animals that we are in danger of loosing. Some of these animals are endemic i.e. they can only be found on the Maltese Islands and nowhere else in the world. We should take care of these animals.

The article was written after we attended one of the turtle release events organized by Nature trust. I describe the story behind the turtles in question and how our irresponsible behavior cause terrible injures to these turtles who had to pass through a period of rehabilitation before getting released back into the wild. The injuries caused were due to our fishing practices and waste dumped. It was a very emotional experience for all of us.
