Colour dots spoils the green

This is a typical aerial view of some traditional Maltese fields. The small colour dots are the only eye sore in this picture! Do we need to add colours to this greenery? These dots are old tanks which by time become very rusty and not so environmental friendly or even degradable. The tanks are placed in fields sometimes instead of rebuilding a fallen rubble wall to separate one field from another or else to be filled with rain water so that the farmers can use this water for their seed beds. These are no excuses because instead of these tanks they can rebuild a typical Maltese rubble wall. In the case of reservoirs there are many other types of how to build a good rain water reservoir! In our school and on all media a lot of environmental activities go on to raise awareness. It is our duty to leave a better future.

Peer Through

Unbelievable nature! A window in the midst of horizontal and vertical strata. The various shades of brown contrasts deeply with the azure sky. It instils the yearning to embark on a journey – a journey over the massive rocks – an urge to climb high – to climb high to peer through the amazing window. What is beyond? What wonders awaits us? What mysteries await us? Alas, we have to venture to peer through and see what lies beyond. Subsequently we have to prepare ourselves to face the challenges of a changing world.

The horizon meets the infinite sky in the perfection of nature! To manage to surpass obstacles enhances the will-power to open our wings and soar up and fly – fulfilled by satisfaction!

Will our seas become a fetid rubbish dump?

A calm walk by the sea… a breeze gently sweeping across the beaches and cliffs as the fresh sea air puts one at peace. The rotten stench of garbage, however, quickly reels one back to reality. Rubbish can clearly be seen around the coast of Malta, most particularly near those beaches which garner the most public attention. After a day of crowded tourists and locals, the beach is deserted, but plastic bags, bottles, cans and cigarette butts remain. The refuse teams ensure that the beach is relatively clean by the morning rush of people, but it is the mentality of the people that needs to change. Part of the inborn Maltese mentality, it seems, ensures that everywhere they go, some sort of refuse is left behind. The sea is a delicately balanced ecosystem, and trash poisons the water and has the potential to kill marine creatures as well as their predators. If we do not change, we will be surrounded by a murky swamp which harbours no life.
