I took this picture a few weeks ago. This litter was lying on the pavement near our garage and was left there for quite some time. Apart from being an eyesore to the people passing by, it is also very unhygienic. This litter could have been seen by tourists passing by, suggesting that the Maltese people couldn’t care less about the environment around them, which is not true. This littering could have easily been avoided as in my locality, very nearby, we have waste separation bins and the local council provides a bulky refuse pickup service.
