For the past decade, the EkoSkola committee at St Benedict College, Kirkop, has managed an organic olive‑harvesting project that blends tradition, sustainability, and hands‑on learning. In 2025, Year 7 and 8 students harvested 430 kg of olives, which were processed into 60 litres of olive oil and jars of preserved olives. Students designed labels and sold the products during school events. Half of the €940 profit was donated to Puttinu Cares, with the rest funding future EkoSkola initiatives. The project promoted health education, sustainable consumption, and active citizenship. Its success attracted recognition from the Climate Action Authority, which filmed a documentary. The committee now hopes to expand the initiative through community olive‑picking events across Malta.

One Take Photo Photos
The image above shows a box holding several waste materials from the aftermath of constructing and drilling the ground, some of which include plants. It further implies that for some construction sites involving drilling or just simple architecture, it can damage the environment around it. Due to construction for newer and more modern buildings, fewer urban areas are being used, if not replaced for the massive number of structures being built in Malta and practically even our entire world. Yes, it can help Malta’s image; however, we still require nature’s power for our daily life, which, in most cases, is being destroyed. Unfortunately, we can’t just pause construction as it’s important for some requirements. The choice is in their hands, but my suggestion is that they reduce the amount of construction done in a city or area.

Air pollution occurs when harmful particles and gases, such as fine dust (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides, enter the air. In Malta, the average level of PM2.5 is about 11.7 micrograms per cubic meter, which is more than double the safe limit of 5 recommended by the World Health Organization, according to the Malta Environment and Resources Authority (MERA).

Malta is famous for its beautiful Mediterranean beaches and rich marine life. The sea around Malta has coral reefs, about 800 types of fish, and five types of turtles. Sadly, two of these turtle species are endangered because of ghost fishing.
