This piece of land was just a piece of car park. Before, when there was the Second World War, this land was used for target shooting. Several years after World War 2, in 2012, the Government transformed this abandoned land into a beautiful environmental and eco-friendly garden. There is even a pond! If we learn to take care of it, maybe we will have more parks like this, full of trees & flowers which provide natural habitats for a lot of species. If we learn to take care of nature, nature will show us all its beauty, so let’s learn now to take care of our things!

Wied Blandun Community Garden – My school, Mater Boni Consilii School, works a lot to make the environment a better place. One of the projects that the EkoSkola Committee in collaboration with HSBC did was the Community Garden in Wied Blandun, Paola about 2 years ago. Each class planted flowers or herbs to make this garden look better. In this project, the EkoSkola committee did not only make Wied Blandun look nicer but also gave the opportunity to all students to observe nature. Unfortunately, some plants have been stolen and vandalism occurred. It is useless to sit back and not speaking up! Everyone has to do something about these problems. What are YOU going to do about it?!?!

Valleys wiped off

Malta is a landmass full of stone buildings with only small patches of trees and fields. Many beautiful green valleys have been completely wiped off. Developers believe that they have a right to destroy the local natural environment to gain more profits. This is happening in spite of the fact that many flats are still unoccupied. Buildings have been built in many valleys such as that of Kalkara. Local plants and animal species survive in these valleys thanks to the availability of water. Some of these species are becoming rare because their natural habitats are decreasing rapidly. An example is the very rare perennial Willow-leaved Knotgrass. If we do not stop this unnecessary development children in the future would not have open spaces where to play and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature.

The pictures clearly show that it was a joint effort by students (all Form 2 students & EKoskola Committee), with the help of the students and the active involvement of the Qormi Local Council. Infact, the Mayor Ms.Cutajar joined the students in this walk. The students during this walk, meet with different workers in the industrial estate and advice them on the appropriate way to disposing of waste, including hazardous waste. Leaflets were prepared and distributed to these workers. The photo together with other taken during this awareness walk were disseminated through through the school website and blog. The photos were also forwarded to the local council to avail themselves of them as well. One of the photos show the students meeting the Mayor before the start of the awareness campaign.
