This is a video which describes the beauty present at Chadwick lakes, a shallow valley at Rabat, Malta. On the other hand, it illustrates the bad state of this area which makes it less accessible for people to visit. Due to this, there is a decreasing number of tourists and Maltese citizens that are visiting the area. Link for the video on you tube is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7BwQpjBt8M

With the increase in air traffic air pollution becomes an imminent issue that needs to be effectively tackled. An old aircraft produces a lot of pollution compared with newer technologies. For this reason the EU is introducing a quota system whereby the offender that surpasses air emissions quota is compelled to pay a fine. This is in line with the polluter pays principle.

Methane digestion involves the decomposition of manure processing by-products, and other materials into effluent and biogas. Micro organisms perform the decomposition process in a methane digester, which can be designed in several ways. Once biogas is harvested from the processed manure, it can be run through an engine to generate electricity, used in place of natural gas, or flared. Many digesters are successfully operating in the U.S. and Europe. As digesters have grown in popularity in the U.S., so have the options for ownership and financing of digesters. A variety of incentives are available for digesters, construction and tax incentives also exist for manure supplied to digesters.
