I used to live in a high rise block of apartments, where many families lived on top of each other, and side by side each other. I could hear their talks, laughs, cries and expressions. I could smell all the emissions from the large amounts of cars that used to drive past my residence. I could see the smog, on most of the mornings. I could feel the soap that used to run down my drains, smell the cigarettes that my owners smoked, hear all the noises all day long. All of a sudden I found myself in this bliss . . . . . where I can hear silence . . . . I can hear the birds, the wind, the crawls of living things! I can breathe fresh air but I cannot understand why the green grass, the living things around me keep looking so sadly at me!

As one generation ago, the culture of disposable goods was much more on a smaller scale, than nowadays. This photo was taken in an abundant house in Zabbar. Glass bottles, re-usable containers and other recyclable packaging materials could be easily recycled. While plastics can indeed be recycled, they degrade in quality through the recycling process, until eventually plastics can’t be recycled and have to be taken to landfills. Unfortunately times changed, and major businesses found it more cost-effective to use plastic. If everyone in the world simply make a few changes in the way they consume plastic items, the problem would at least be limited and, with changed attitudes, those in power could slowly mend the damage that’s been done. I really hope that in the near future, things will get better and there will be more individual awareness.

Sometimes the use of pesticides kills insects it is intended to, and others that prey on them. Without these insects the eco system will be in trouble, which will result in damage to our life. Pollution is also dangerous to various creatures because it will effect their life. This insect died because it got trapped in a plastic bag. We need to keep our nature clean from pollution so as to avoid unnecessary deaths.

Cigarette butts, snack wrappers, take-out food and beverage containers are the most commonly littered items. Cigarettes are one of the most insidious forms of litter all over the world that may be small, but they aren’t harmless. The fiberglass in the filters contains toxic chemicals that end up in storm drains, which eventually lead to our waterways. The second most littered item is fast food wrappers, followed by beer and soda cans. Next time you’re tempted to flick that cigarette butt out the car window or toss your food wrapper on the ground, just think about how long that junk will stick around. Paper, which is completely recyclable, takes six months to decompose. Plastic bottles, which are also recyclable, take five to ten years. Plastic shopping bags: ten to thirty years. Be aware before committing a simply action, because it can cause more harm than benefits.

There is a story behind this image. One day, I was in my room, finishing my assignments. At a point I heard my mother shout for my help so I immediately left my room and went in the terrace. I saw my mother freaking out over a grasshopper which came on he shirt. She was terrified since to her it was huge and dangerous (although it was small and more scared than her). I told her to calm down and helped her get in the house. Soon after I took my camera and starting taking shots of this little fellow. It was so docile. As a confirmation that it was not going to attack and even a bit scared, every time I put the camera in front of its face it turned its back on the camera. Ever since humanity came to be, it formed new artificial structures and created villages, cities and more. At the same time, natural zones continued to co-exist. Nowadays we have become attached to this artificial world we live in and forgot what nature actually feels like. We have become afraid of what we do not make and what we cannot control (such as the grasshopper). We should be able to live with the rest of the natural environment not fight against it, after all we are a product of nature ourselves and the sources of everything we produce derives from nature.
