Together we are discussing possible solutions to reduce this litter. Ideas that have been discussed include giving more information to students, encouraging all students to bring reusable bottles to school and installing a water dispensing machine.

After celebrating feasts, people usually head to fast food restaurants to have a quick meal. Many paper bags and cups are thrown away on the ground. The Valletta local council is in charge of cleaning the streets and a lot of money is spent to get them clean again. To reduce litter, people need to use the available facilities and not buy extra food because a lot of food is thrown away and wasted whilst knowing that there are people starving to death in the poor countries of the world.

A common problem that happens in feasts such as Carnival is that there aren’t enough bins next to stalls selling food or if there are bins, they are overflowing with trash. This leads to people throwing away their garbage in cardboard boxes or on the ground. To prevent this from happening, there should be an amount of bins in areas where food is prepared and they should be emptied regularly while the event is taking place.
