These photos were taken at a site in Zurrieq where many pieces of debris could be found on the street. All this waste could get carried by the wind out to sea. 70% of our debris sinks into the ocean’s ecosystem, 15% floats, and 15% lands on our beaches. Regarding plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly. This is why we should never litter, as no matter where you are, the wind could blow your litter away, causing many problems elsewhere, like the 100 million marine creatures that die due to plastic waste alone. As always, prevention is better than cure, so let’s not cause the problem but prevent it! Statistics and sources were retrieved from (https://www.condorferries.co.uk/marine-ocean-pollution-statistics-facts#:~:text=70%25%20of%20our%20debris%20sinks,discarded%20in%20the%20sea%20yearly. )

Unfortunately, we are facing this catastrophic issue due to people’s laziness. Around the Maltese islands, an outrageous 91% of litter is found on land and in our seas (https://thinkmagazine.mt/the-great-big-floating-landfill/ ). This is not only ruining the habitats of innocent animals, but it’s also affecting us. Not only does it pollute land and water, but it also pollutes the air around us. 40% of litter on earth is burned in the open air, which releases toxic emissions which are detrimental to our health (https://www.texasdisposal.com/blog/the-real-cost-of-littering/#:~:text=Researchers%20estimate%20that%20more%20than,starting%20base%20for%20acid%20rain). Why do we litter? Why are we doing this to ourselves and the ecosystems around us?

Is this what we are going to teach the future generations, that littering is okay?

These photos were taken in the Valley called Wied Għomor, which connects San Ġwann and Swieqi. Is it fair to go on a walk to breathe fresh air and see rubbish everywhere instead?

Many people on Earth throw trash out into the ocean, but they are wrong since the ocean only has a limited amount of space and the trash will disappear after many years. Many people think that the ocean is so big that if they throw one piece of trash nothing will happen, but it is not as easy as it sounds. First, the ocean has a limited amount of space and second, most trash will only be able to biodegrade in hundreds of years. There is also the issue of sea creatures consuming trash like, for example, turtles eating plastic bags, because they think it is a jellyfish. At many of the Earth’s beaches we can find bits of cardboard or plastic either floating on the water or lying in the sand.
