The student has caught a fish looking curiously from the rock in the aquarium. It seems to be saying that she would enjoy being in the open sea rather than in a small aquarium.

The water lilies in the pond and the fish are an example of a nice environment. Rubbish should not be thrown in the sea. It is estimated that every year over a million seabirds, turtles and sea animals die of litter related causes.

The banana skin was thrown in the garden. Its place is in the compost bins. Orange and banana peels can take time to degrade.

The birds in the dark cage prefer to be all in the wild. They are wondering what it would be like if they are free to move freely. Bird’s place is in the open. No bird is born to live in a cage. But still millions of birds are kept caged and often improperly cared for.

Cigarettes butts (discarded filters) are the most common litter worldwide. These are mostly littered on the ground. The problem is that it takes 10 to 15 years for the filter fibres to break down by the ultraviolet rays from the sun and during this time their toxic materials like chemicals and heavy metals are released. They are difficult to clean up and also such process is costly. Cigarettes butts are poisonous to living organisms when ingested like fish and children. Another problem is that if the cigarette is still lit and tossed in a bush, the bush will probably catch fire. There are many precautions that can prevent these problems like portable ashtrays or ashtray stands near a bus stop or public places. Harsher fines can be given to people who litter cigarette waste outside

The orange tree is boasting about her beauty in the garden, showing her beauty. Every year lots of trees get destroyed for human use, or by catching fire because of wrong doing. Every year a lot of trees are cut down to provide raw materials to produce paper and other things. Trees should be more conserved and protected.

Cigarette filter found in a garden. This cigarette was thrown away in the garden. Cigarette filters should be thrown in a proper bin after smoking.  Certainly not the right place where cigarettes are disposed. Tons of cigarette butts and cigarette related litter is dropped every day also from car drivers while driving that throw cigarette litter on the road. A lot of other animals in the wild are killed or injured by cigarette butts.

This devastating sight was seen in Mosta. As visible in this picture, the ever-growing littering problem is also taking place where one is least supposed to throw garbage bags: under a “Tarmix Żibel Hawn” sign. It is strongly evident that the conditions stated on this sign are not being enforced, hence the locals’ careless attitude. Apart from being an eyesore, this also gives a bad impression to the many tourists which visit this historical city.
