People sometimes forget that our custodial workers work very hard to keep our towns free from trash. Our local councils have worked very hard to invest in "Bring in Sites". I am angry and sad at the same time when I see nice areas with trash for no reason. The photo was taken in Qormi in an abandoned field. I wish that people would start to think before dumping their trash.

Is there light at the end of the channel?

The supply of water in Malta depends on that obtained by the Reverse Osmosis plants and the supply of groundwater. However, the level of groundwater is decreasing rapidly and over a period of time, we might have to find other alternatives. One such alternative is to build reservoirs all through Malta to hold the rain that falls. This winter was one of the wettest in the history of meteorology. The surface runoff flowing in this sort of channel is blocked by the debris of construction waste and rocks. If some of that runoff water would have been spared in reservoirs, people would turn to this supply of water (as it’s free), than open the tap and use water coming from desalinisation plants.

Countryside or dumping site?

Nowadays it is not easy to find time to go for a walk in the middle of Mother Nature because our lives are so fast and we prefer our TV sets instead of Mother Nature but what is the reason behind this choice? It may be that we feel safer in front of the TV sets or places far from nature because there are people that transformed parts of our country side into dumping sites. During a walk that I did few days ago in the limits of Mtarfa, I found from beer cans to car tires, from chairs to truck parts and those places where I found these items are certainly not where they should be. About all this the Mtarfa Local council was contacted and since this world is everyone world we should recycle what is recyclable and take care of our world together!

Fl-istaġun tax-xitwa mhux l-ewwel darba li naraw xi nixxiegħa tal-ilma speċjalment fejn hemm it-tafal. Fejn imur dan l-ilma? Ħafna drabi l-ilma jibqa’ għaddej qalb l-għelieqi għal ġol-widien. Il-bdiewa jagħmlu użu minn dan l-ilma billi jagħmlu ilqugħ u jaħżnuh f’xi ġibjun. B’hekk il-bdiewa ikollhom l-ilma biex ikabbru l-prodotti agrikoli anke fil-ġranet sħan u xotti tas-sajf. Kemm hi mportanti dik in-nixxiegħa biex ikollna ħaxix u frott frisk is-sena kollha!

Il-ġmiel ta’ pajjiżna ma jonqos qatt speċjalment f’dawk il-postijiet l-inqas affetwati mill-bnedmin. F’dan ir-ritratt naraw parti mill-irdumijiet li jinstabu madwar il-kosta Maltija. Anke jekk dan l-ambjent jidher pjuttost għeri, fih insibu pjanti rari bħal Widnet il-Baħar li ftit li xejn narawhom f’ambjenti oħra. Anke għasafar bħal Merill ibejjet f’dan l-ambjent. Ta’ spiss naraw turisti, kif ukoll Maltin jagħmlu xi passigata qrib dawn il-postijiet. Għalhekk għandna nibzgħu għall-irdumijiet billi ma nħammguhomx jew jingħataw permessi għal barrieri fil-qrib.
