The litter bugs

Every evening I walk several blocks to my gym in my locality carrying a recycle bag to pick up trash. It’s pathetic that our citizens throw their trash in the streets. This problem does not require a high-tech, expensive solution. It’s a matter of educating the public. It’s amazing how many unsightly cans, wrappers and bottles you can pick up with little or no extra effort. I suggest that we can start by educating and give more importance to children in their schools. Tell them what happens to the litter they throw in the streets. Even by making more the use of commercials on television and in other social media. I suggest showing people not to litter and show them more the results from littering, at some point; they will start implementing what they saw on television.

Is litter like murder? Not exactly, perhaps but its worse than you probably think. This photo was taken at an abundant garage down at Wied Iz-Zurrieq. Here we see loads of drum paint, paint, iron, wood, plastic bags, etc. Of course, the environmental effects of litter are well known. Trash in the streets gets blown into the sewer system. Also, animals get tangled in six-pack rings, cut on jagged metal or broken glass and get stuck inside containers. Probably, you have heard all this before. In my research I discovered that there were different economic effects from litter too. All this can be distorted by your help, even students can help by picking up litter and by taking some responsibility. So let’s get shoulder to shoulder and help for a better and safe environmental.

Sadly, we can get too accustomed to the mess along our roadsides to the point where we don’t even notice it. Not to make a big deal out of this, but my eyes popped out when I saw this huge litter down the road, when I was passing by from the Malta old dockyard. It takes a visitor from out of town, suitably chagrined, or even a cardboard-crunching neighborhood dog to call it to our attention. Is it laziness, callousness, stupidity or worse? Efforts must be taken underway to clean up our major stuff found by. In particular, we need to try to make a better first impression even for our environmental and future generations. It’s a shame that the population is not enough aware of this problem, that can be solved in a couple of ways even by the help of the government.

F’dan ir-ritratt tidher ċara l-volonta’ u l-perseveranza tan-natura. Kultant għal neċessitajiet bħal skejjel, sptarijiet u kultant semplicement minħabba egoiżmu, nuqqas ta’ ippjanar, injoranza jew kilba sfrenata għal flus xi bnedmin ibiddlu ambjent naturali mimli siġar, pjanti, fjuri, insetti, friefet… għal ambjent kif iridu hu, jigifieri ambjent mibni u mimli konkrit. Iżda n-natura għandha r-riżorsi tagħha u tieħu kull okkażżjoni biex terġa’ tara fejn tista’ ssib il-ħajja u meta jirnexxielha, issebbah l-ambjent. L-aħdar mimli hajja jispikka fuq il-griż mejjet u monotonu u meta wiehed ihares lejn dan il-haxix wiehed jista jimmagina funtana ħadra li togħla biex aħna narawha u napprezzawha.

L-iskart sar parti integrali mill-ħajja tagħna… kif dan it-tank taż-żibel sar parti minn dan ir-ritratt hekk ukoll hu importanti li ma nħallux dan l-iskart jispiċċa jieħu post in-natura. Importanti li f’postijiet naturali jkollna tankijiet fejn jintrema’ l-iskart ħalli ma jispiċċax iħammeġ in-natura … iżda importanti ukoll li wieħed jnaqqas l-iskart u jirriċikla kemm hemm bżonn. Meta jitpoggew dawn it-tankijiet biex fihom jintrema l-iskart hemm bżonn naqra ħsieb. Jekk dawn jitpoġġew f’postijiet strateġiċi, dawn ma jattirawx l-attenzjoni tagħna aktar mill-ambjent sabiħ ta’ madwarna. F’dan ir-ritratt dak li għandu jispikka hija l-varjeta tal-pjanti u l-kuluri sbieħ li n-natura biss tista’ toffri.
