This unsightly heap of litter was left to be picked up at the corner of a main road in Naxxar close to my house. Much of the items that have been disposed of, such as cardboard boxes and plastic water bottles could have easily been placed in bags for recycling and placed outside to be collected on appropriate days. Other items such as the computer monitor and carpet underlay seen in the photograph should have been taken to one of the bring- in- sites available on the island. How is it that in this day and age, with so much awareness from the media, some people still persist in disposing of their litter in such an irresponsible way? When will we learn to care for the environment we live in?

These two colourful bags are waiting for the garbage collector. Looking closer you can see that they are filled with recyclable materials. Why do some people ignore all the efforts being made to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and throw all that comes to hand outside for the garbage collector? Why do they insist to continue making the world uglier for us, the next generation?

Chadwick Lakes is a scenic natural place where several creatures live in such as: the Maltese Painted frog (an endemic species), dragonflies and bees. These photos show the greenery of this picturesque place. The smell of moist soil, streams of natural water and “waterfalls” make this place unique for a serene walk in the countryside. The dams in this valley were built under the direction of Sir Osbert Chadwick in 1886. Unfortunately, Mother Nature cries as people spoil this beautiful environment by throwing rubbish in this valley. The accumulation of rubbish can cause fire posing a serious threat to flora and fauna. Moreover, litter can harm wildlife as small creatures may eat it. As children we hope that this valley is well protected for all of us to enjoy. More rubbish bins should be placed along the pathways. People should be encouraged to reduce waste by re-using containers and bags.

Some people are taking their trash out very early and others are leaving their pets running around in the street. These animals tear the rubbish bags and spill out the contents and make a mess on the pavements. The rubbish scatters around the whole area because of the strong winter wind. Plastic bags get caught in the trees and when it rains the rubbish gets carried to the valleys. The local council should take stricter measures and fine the owners of dogs that are left running without a leash and the people caught taking their trash out too early.

The sea plays a very important role in shaping the coastal landscape. Waves such as the one shown in the picture hit the shore numerous times each day and as a result they wear away and break up the rocky coastline of the Maltese Islands. Most of the eroded pieces of rock are then transported and deposited somewhere else along the shore or sea bed. Despite their somewhat destructive nature in some places, waves are truly magnificent to watch!
