Kull fejn tmur tara bini, djar, appartamenti u vilel. Qisu rridu neqirduh l-ambjent tagħna u nisirquh għalina. X’se jgħidulna wliedna meta jaraw x’ħallejna? Inħarsu madwarna u nirriflettu ftit.

Lame Litter

These photos were taken at a site in Zurrieq where many pieces of debris could be found on the street. All this waste could get carried by the wind out to sea. 70% of our debris sinks into the ocean’s ecosystem, 15% floats, and 15% lands on our beaches. Regarding plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly. This is why we should never litter, as no matter where you are, the wind could blow your litter away, causing many problems elsewhere, like the 100 million marine creatures that die due to plastic waste alone. As always, prevention is better than cure, so let’s not cause the problem but prevent it! Statistics and sources were retrieved from (https://www.condorferries.co.uk/marine-ocean-pollution-statistics-facts#:~:text=70%25%20of%20our%20debris%20sinks,discarded%20in%20the%20sea%20yearly. )

These photos were taken in the Valley called Wied Għomor, which connects San Ġwann and Swieqi. Is it fair to go on a walk to breathe fresh air and see rubbish everywhere instead?

The Raft of Pollution

Many people on Earth throw trash out into the ocean, but they are wrong since the ocean only has a limited amount of space and the trash will disappear after many years. Many people think that the ocean is so big that if they throw one piece of trash nothing will happen, but it is not as easy as it sounds. First, the ocean has a limited amount of space and second, most trash will only be able to biodegrade in hundreds of years. There is also the issue of sea creatures consuming trash like, for example, turtles eating plastic bags, because they think it is a jellyfish. At many of the Earth’s beaches we can find bits of cardboard or plastic either floating on the water or lying in the sand.

The Earth isn’t in a good condition at the moment. The earth needs our HELP!! This is all because pollution, garbage, cutting trees, using plastic, no recycling and so much more. Garbage IS ONE Main ISSUE. Nowadays it’s very sad going to the countryside and all one can see is garbage in the plants, on the floor and in ponds. Plants and trees give us oxygen to breathe. Also we don’t want everywhere looking like a dump! So we can help by picking up the garbage left on the floor at the local park, countryside, beaches and lots more places. If you want to save the planet it’s now or never before it is too late! Once again the Earth needs our HELP!!

The Earth is suffering from a lot of pollution and it needs our help! Everyone can easily help the Earth! We should not litter and apart from helping the Earth we will be living in a better place without garbage on the street. We also need more plants as plants and trees provide oxygen to the world. We should stop cutting trees and destroying plants and throwing garbage away on the street. We need to save the Earth. We only have one Earth and the litter and garbage is doing so much damage. Stop Littering! It is doing harm to the environment and the wild animals too. If we stop littering the Earth will be cleaner and more plants, trees and flowers will grow and the world will be a better place.

We need to stop using petrol cars or diesel cars and start using electric cars. We need to stop cutting trees because trees take away carbon dioxide. If we want cooler air and not have heatwaves in summer we need to follow these RULES. If we follow them we will have much more fun with cooler air in summer but obviously not freezing air.
