This sign has been lying on the sea bed in St. George’s Bay, Birzebbugia, for the past two weeks. No one did actually care to retrieve it. According to the Local Council, since the object is in contact with sea water, it is the Malta Maritime Authority which is responsible. So calling the Maritime Authority, I was told that since it is a traffic sign, I had to contact the Roads Department instead. Having done so, I was forwarded to a gentleman, who patiently, explained that since it is a temporary road sign, he will contact the private contractor entrusted with the works near St George's Bay in order to recover the sign. The sign remains an eyesore, and apart from that everyone should be conscious nowadays of the effects of chemical, physical and biological variations in the sea water environment by the corrosion rates of metals.

In Mosta lies what was once the most quaint and prosperous of all the Maltese Valleys: Wied il-Għasel. This valley, as the name implies, was famous for bee-keeping. Species which once charmed this valley like the Sicilian Spider Orchid, can no longer be seen. Although the Mosta Local Council claims that they organize various campaigns to clean the valley, a survey in Mosta revealed that astonishingly 65% of the residents did not know anything about Wied il-Għasel of which 25% did not know it even exists. What was even more impressive was the amount of rubbish found in the valley, with more than 100 different items recorded and even off roading is practised!(Matsec Environmental Project Analysis 2011) Action must be taken to safeguard the valley; rubbish should be cleaned, off roading should not be allowed and more information should be given about Wied il-Ghasel. Let’s help the environment!

This picture shows the beast – an abandoned cement mixer, alongside the pure beauty of Mother Nature. Notice how the green meadow with the lovely red flowers is ruined with the rusty deteriorated metal mixer simply as a result of the selfishness of a few people. This is so irresponsible! There is a hazard to people with young kids who come here for a breath of fresh air and to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of Mother Nature. Let us all act responsibly, take action by informing our local councils of such eyesores and inform people of the bulky refuse collection that is done free of charge by our local councils. Besides, there are the civic amenity sites that will also offer help as required, so that we dispose of all our recyclable rubbish no matter its size!

See this breathtaking view of the beach of Għajn Tuffieħa to the left? See how the view is ruined by the eyesore of the abandoned building built next to it? There are many of these buildings scattered around Malta. Sometimes massive plots of land which were bought and built are abandoned due to various reasons. Whatever the cause, the result is the same: empty buildings which remain there for countless years. These half-finished buildings are many times vandalised and are very unappealing to the eye.
