I took this photo as I would like to show the few high hills found in Malta. Although this scenery is scarce in Malta, we still do not take care of our environment. I tried to show the beautiful scenes on Malta, and on the bottom left of the picture one can find scraped cars which ruin the environment. With this picture, I would like to start an awareness of keeping our environment clean and beautiful, as in 2018 Valletta is going to be the European Capital. If we could all do our bit, and throw away litter where it should be thrown away, we would clear the Maltese environment instantly and make our island a better looking one.

Water Water everywhere and not a Drop to Drink

Water is a valuable resource, especially in our country where we don’t have many options where to get fresh water from. While we acknowledge that a lot has been done to clean our valleys and facilitate the water flow, there is still a lot to be done to maintain them regularly. This valley in Gozo has been left to fill up with debris with the consequence that if it rains nearby properties will get flooded. This has already happened in the past. Moreover, if measures were taken for this water to be used, farmers would find good use for it.

Once upon a time

Once upon a time there was a place which looked a lot like heaven. But even in heaven one can find persons who are more concerned with doing what they please, than with enjoying and letting others enjoy the place. Fortunately, they are only few and we hope that even these wake up to the fact that we live in a beautiful place and that it’s up to each and every one of us to keep it this way. After all there is really no doubt which view of heaven is the most pleasing, is there?

Rain Rain Go Away

Water culverts are one of the ways in which rain water can be properly directed towards natural or man-made reservoirs. However, keeping them clear of all debris all year round is essential for them to be effective. Regular clean-ups are a necessity, as even after a small drizzle, they can become clogged up with leaves and other rubbish. This could cause various problems including drainage, flooding, soil erosion and water table problems.

Local water pump mills crying for repair

On the way from Dingli to Rabat, lots of broken Wind pump mills emerge. This particular wind pump situated in a private field has been seriously damaged by a strong wind which hit the area last winter. These mills are used by farmers to pump water from deep under-ground to irrigate their fields. Some of these wind pumps are still in use although, sadly, many of them have been neglected and have fallen into a state of disrepair. I love watching the giant blades turning in the wind with a sense of awe and I hope that Malta will find enough funds to restore these wind pumps as they are a source of renewable energy and environment friendly. Malta is one of a few European states encountering difficulties to reach its set energy targets, and to achieve its goals it needs to take additional measures, like repairing such Wind pumps.
