The Living Landfill

filed under Articles

This article explores the environmental challenges posed by the Magħtab landfill in Malta and proposes an innovative solution to address them. It highlights the long-term impact of unmanaged waste, including toxic emissions and the difficulty of restoration due to non-biodegradable materials. The authors critique the government’s plan to convert the site into a traditional park, arguing that such spaces promote passive interaction with nature. Instead, they propose the creation of a zero-waste community garden, “Full Circle Garden,” based on circular economy principles. Supported by research and local examples, the article demonstrates the environmental, social, and economic benefits of community gardening. The proposal emphasises sustainability through composting and growing food from scraps. Ultimately, the article presents a transformative vision of turning a polluted site into a self-sustaining ecosystem and a symbol of environmental renewal.

How Pollution Affects Climate Change and Food Prices

submitted by St Michael Foundation : Jake Stivala  for 11-14
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): other, school media, website
filed under Articles

The article examines the relationship between pollution, climate change, and rising food prices. It explains that air pollution releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which contribute significantly to climate change. As a result, extreme weather conditions including droughts, floods, and storms, are becoming more frequent, negatively affecting agricultural production. Reduced crop yields and increased farming costs lead to higher food prices and declining food quality. The article also incorporates insights from a local farmer, who highlights challenges such as unpredictable rainfall, crop damage, increased pesticide use, and the need for costly technological adaptations. To address these issues, the article proposes both individual and governmental solutions, including reducing energy consumption, adopting renewable energy, promoting sustainable practices, and implementing environmental policies. Overall, it emphasises the urgent need for collective action to mitigate climate change and ensure food security.
