This stop motion clip is called Improper Disposal. It shows a man who gets rid of a tire in the sea where a duck lives. He throws the tire and there is an effect on the duck because it pollutes where it lives. It sinks but also the sea becomes black because of this pollutant. In another scene, we see a man drive a truck and leave another type of pollution, that of air pollution. We see a lot of pollution build up and it effects mankind.

The title of the caption is an ironic caption to show that this balloon has no place there.

On the 31st of January 2023, the Press Kids group together with Ms Charmaine and a few other teachers visited the Farmers’ Market and “Pitkalija” in Ta’ Qali.

Apart from that, there was a lot of plastic items scattered around the area, including crates, cups, bottles, containers, bags flying in the air, packaging and much more. Recycling is a must, so that nothing goes to waste. Everyone needs to ask, “Is waste really an unwanted, worthless material?” Definitely NOT. So before throwing something away, THINK and see HOW you can reduce, reuse, and recycle waste. The principle of recycling waste is today called the circular economy.
