What a wonderful view of Marsaxlokk harbour. But wait…What’s that in the background? It is Delimara’s Power Station and it is ruining the view!! It is also polluting the air around it with the fumes the chimneys are omitting and it isn’t very healthy for people who live in the areas of Delimara either. It also has a very bad impact on the tourists which come to visit Marsaxlokk .And what about the impact on the environment, especially the fish in the sea and the birds? The fishermen are the most affected by this monster. If we become more aware of energy consumption and its consequences it will be easier for all of us to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. We must all understand that every drop counts and that undoubtedly all our efforts do make a difference.

As you can see in the picture above there is natural spring water found in Landrijiet, limits of Rabat, which is contaminated by illegal dumping. It is a great pity that only a few people know about it. After a rainy day this spring has a lot more water than shown in the picture above. Maybe clear signs with adequate information should be placed in the vicinity not only to prohibit people from dumping unwanted items in the stream but also to explain the ecological importance of such freshwater streams. Fresh water habitats such as these can be home to various species such as the painted frog and the Maltese fresh water crab. Both species are becoming endangered so more awareness is required!

Waste production in the Maltese Islands is a major problem and several actions need to be taken in order to act for the future generations. Some waste components have economic value and can be recycled and correctly recovered. In the first two pictures we can see a discarded piece of furniture . If one calls the local council , they’ll send someone to collect it for free instead of throwing it away and damaging the environment! On the other hand , in the second two pictures we can see two pristine country views on the Maltese islands. It’s all depends on us basically!

Don’t you think that our country, Malta is becoming one massive construction site? Everyone is thinking about one aspect, MONEY – but unfortunately we sometimes fail to realise that it does not always make the world go round! This picture shows and already constructed block of apartments and another block to be constructed (in background). Both construction projects encroach on the already limited agricultural land. Besides this, construction also implies destruction of natural areas and therefore loss of endemic or indigenous species. Maybe we cannot always stop development but we can always do our best to learn more. Loss of land and species will eventually effect us all.

As I was walking in a street near the sea in Birgu I noticed something in the sea that just was not right. It was not the sea itself but what was in it. Floating on the surface there were all sorts of used objects that included plastic and glass bottles and other materials. Unfortunately people sometimes do not realize that this will have many consequences. It is not only because people will be swimming in polluted areas but also because such garbage items might at times be considered as food by various marine organisms and will thus effect the marine food chain. Plastic items for example are easily mistaken as food by certain fish and turtles! Maybe certain areas around the coast should contain specific signs which would make people more aware of their actions!
