Turtles lay eggs in the same beach that they hatched even though it could be a long way to get to that beach. Turtles are soon becoming extinct because they choke on the plastic of the sea thinking that it’s their food: jellyfish. When an adult female turtle lays eggs, around a hundred of turtle hatchlings hatch and set off on a journey in the sea. If we litter the sea and beaches, these poor little hatchlings won’t be able to go on their journey and continue to reproduce. So, don’t litter anywhere and always follow the three Rs; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We can eliminate single-use plastic by buying reusable bottles instead of disposable ones.

Maltese families enjoy outdoor outings all year round on beaches and in the countryside. Unfortunately, not all people have the decency to clean up before leaving. This leads to an abundance of post-picnic littering which keeps on adding up until the place resembles a dump yard. This is a big problem for the environment. We all have the responsibility to leave our parks, beaches and countryside exactly how we find them to minimize the impact on the environment and so that others can enjoy them too.

Cigarettes are not only harming the active smoker but also the individuals nearby…furthermore irresponsible individuals who litter both the packets and the cigarette buts in the streets are contributing to a large pollution and littering problem. Such litter tends to end up carried with rain or wind and end up blocking the street gutters or actually end up polluting oceans too.
