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.

Agriculture Methane Digester

Methane digestion involves the decomposition of manure processing by-products, and other materials into effluent and biogas. Micro organisms perform the decomposition process in a methane digester, which can be designed in several ways. Once biogas is harvested from the processed manure, it can be run through an engine to generate electricity, used in place of natural gas, or flared. Many digesters are successfully operating in the U.S. and Europe. As digesters have grown in popularity in the U.S., so have the options for ownership and financing of digesters. A variety of incentives are available for digesters, construction and tax incentives also exist for manure supplied to digesters.
