Water is a precious resource as nothing can live without water. In Malta we do not have any natural water sources. We are dependent on rain water and the water table. Reverse Osmosis Plants help us meet our demand for water. When it rains, our streets are flooded with run-off water which can be stored if every building had a well or reservoir. People in various countries of the world have to travel every day to find clean water. For these people, water is more precious than diamonds. On the other side, we tend to take this precious resource for granted, since we have it within a tap’s reach.

Waste that we throw away in the environment does not vanish, but returns on our doorsteps. Plastic beverage bottles are an eye sore when we take a stroll along our beaches. These bottles are not biodegradable and according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, they take 450 years to decompose if they are thrown away in landfills or in the environment. Unfortunately, what is thrown into the sea is washed on the shores by waves. If these materials are not picked up and disposed of properly, they will end up back into our sea. It is wiser to reuse them or recycle them as we reduce damage to the environment we live in.
