The discharge of untreated waste water is a potential health and environmental hazard. Sewage can lead to oxygen depletion, thus killing several marine creatures. Moreover, raw sewage outfalls can have a significant negative impact on coastal areas. These photographs show picturesque views of Wied Znuber- Hal-Far. As a young student, it is very difficult for me to imagine how in the past a sewage outfall was located in this area making this scenic spot unattractive to tourists and locals. One of the photographs shows two helpless dogs which were abandoned in this area in a stagnant pool of sewage. Fortunately, these were later rescued. Fortunately, in the past few years, a new sewage treatment plant was constructed at Ta’ Barkat- limits off Xghajra. Eventually, the outfall at Wied Znuber is no longer in operation. This was certainly a step in the right direction towards having cleaner seas.

The Archbishop’s Seminary in Rabat, Malta, is a large institution comprising of a primary and secondary school and the major seminary. The kitchen of the major seminary alone generates between 1 and 2 kilos of organic waste every day. The accumulation of food left-overs in the rubbish bin of the seminary kitchen was video recorded and disseminated throughout the school as part of the Wrigley – Litter Less Campaign. An interview was then organised between the students, and the Seminary Rector, Fr Jimmy, asking about the possibility of converting organic waste into compost.
