A lot of us know that trees give us a lot of benefits in our lives. Trees take in carbon dioxide and exchange it to oxygen. However, few of us notice that some trees, like the one shown in the photograph are fighting for survival. Main reasons are taking trees for granted and waste is littering. As shown in the photograph, the litter is not the common litter like paper and plastic bottles (which are very BAD for the environment), but even construction waste like stones and wood. We all can do something to help. The easiest way to help the environment be a better place is by applying the 3 Rs in our daily life – REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.

This photograph was taken at Mistra. Because of all the litter found in this area, water cannot pass from this small valley. This results in flooding and also in loss of soil. Although a lot of awareness is given to help our environment to be a better place, some of us still think this is not serious enough and they take the environment for granted. Action to clean this narrow valley, which is getting all blocked up with litter, must be taken immediately and penalties must be given to those who break the law by throwing their waste outside.

Most of Malta’s rainwater runs straight to the sea and goes to waste. The European Union, emphasises the importance of Malta taking immediate action about this problem. As a reason of wastage of rainwater, the building of new reservoirs is being proposed. As seen in this photograph, action should be taken to use this rainwater; as it’s a shame that 70,000,000 litres of surface run-off water is wasted and not being wisely used.

Illum il-ġurnata hemm diversi modi kif wieħed jista’ jeħles mill-iskart b’mod aċċetabbli, sew mill-kumdita ta’ wara biebu, kif ukoll jekk jaġħmel użu mill-recycle bins kbar li hemm f’kull lokalita. Għal affarijiet aktar goffi wieħed jista’ jmur jarmi fil-waste amenities sites. Mela għaliex għandna naraw skart mormi barra? Għaliex ma jitwaħlux tabelli biex ma jarmux skart f’postijiet magħrufin u jekk ikun hemm bżonn jitwaħlu anke kameras? Għandu jkun kampanja edukattiva biex in-nies ma jħammġux barra sew fuq it-televixin jew rivisti popolari. Forsi xi darba dawn in-nies jitgħallmu!

A Great Pity

Rare species of fish and grasses thrive on the few saline marshlands that are found on the Maltese Islands. Steps have been taken to protect these areas. But, in reality, from what are these saline marshes being protected? Certainly not from pollution! One saline marshland located in Marsascala, locally known as Il-Magħluq is littered with various objects mostly plastics and beer cans. Although some people are annoyed by this mess, no action seems to be taken even though the area is popular locality both with locals and tourists. It would be very appropriate if the saline marshlands are truly protected. Once lost, such sites would be lost foreever!
