Plastic Oceans International state that “50% of all plastic produced (380 million tons per year) is for single-use purposes – used for just minutes and then thrown away”. So let’s wash 1-time plastic bags and use them several times. Who said it’s a 1-time plastic?

EcoMarine Malta warns of high extinction risks for dolphins due to human impact. Dolphins’ diet includes fish, squid, and shrimp; they hunt in pods. Social similarities with humans include enjoyment of companionship but face shared challenges like boat evasions. A code of conduct advises safe dolphin interactions, emphasizing respectful distance and noise reduction. Plastic pollution poses a severe threat, with many dolphins ingesting or being ensnared by plastic debris. Advocating for maritime regulation and reducing noise pollution are proposed solutions. By minimizing disruptions to their habitat and reducing plastic pollution, humans can preserve dolphins’ well-being. Maintaining a respectful distance during interactions and advocating for habitat protection are crucial steps in safeguarding these marine mammals.

Bees, essential for pollinating three-quarters of crucial crops, face alarming threats. Declining nectar levels, as highlighted by the UN, signify a concerning trend. Their role extends beyond honey production; they’re pivotal for pollinating human-consumed crops, with 84% relying on bees and insects. Yet, over the past decade, bee populations have plummeted due to various challenges like diseases, pests, and environmental factors such as air pollution and electromagnetic fields. To safeguard bees, promoting bee-friendly practices is imperative. This entails cultivating bee-friendly farms, planting bee-attracting flora like citrus, lavender, and rosemary, and transitioning away from synthetic pesticides. Community efforts, like the Ħaż-Żebbug local council’s initiative to preserve wildflowers for bees, are crucial. Government support, particularly through EU funds for organic farming, can accelerate this transition. Together, we must prioritize the preservation of bees, ensuring a flourishing future for both them and humanity.

In Malta, the Algerian hedgehog is adored for its charm and unique behaviors, yet its role in the ecosystem remains unclear. Despite their importance in maintaining ecological balance, hedgehogs face numerous threats including road fatalities, pesticide exposure, and habitat loss due to urbanization. To address these challenges, drivers must adhere to road signs and reduce speed, particularly at night when hedgehogs are active, to minimize road casualties. Policy makers can promote public education on reducing pesticide use and advocate for stricter environmental protection laws to preserve habitats. By raising awareness and implementing sustainable practices, we can safeguard hedgehog populations and ensure their presence in our ecosystems for future generations.
