RESILSE This short video highlights the importance to separate right our waste. Putting food scraps in the general waste rather than in the organic bins have numerous harmful effects on our environment. If thrown wrongly, food will end up in landfills where it decomposes and produce methane which is a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change. Furthermore, one may consider preparing his own food buy planning ahead rather then buying ready-made take-away food which includes a lot of packaging, further harming the environment.

The EkoSkola committee of STMC Middle and Secondary School Zejtun carried out an environmental review of the school at the beginning of the scholastic year. They noticed that many single use disposable items were being distributed by the tuckshop, including paper bags, wooden cutlery, paper cups and plastic lids. The students decided to implement a tuckshop loyalty card system which encourages students to bring their own reusable containers, cups and cutlery from home, for which they get a stamp on their loyalty card. Once 20 stamps are collected, this is exchanged for positive points. Waste data was collected from the tuckshop supplier before and after implementing the system. Following the successful implementation of the tuckshop loyalty card system, the amount of paper bags decreased by 15%, the amount of wooden cutlery decreased by 10% and the number of cups and lids decreased by 50%, in just 4 weeks.

Our poem is comprised of 10 quatrain stanzas, each with verses of irregular length. In each stanza, the tree is personified and is also a synecdoche; as it represents the entirety of our environment, and the stanzas respectively tackle a different benefit given to us by trees, such as shade, fruit, and the encompassing of birds and other wildlife. In addition, all stanzas make sure to ask Why?, and Did you forget? this is in order to evoke a feeling of guilt, and sympathy, although the opening stanza essentially summarizes all of the trees’ points and messages, in order to avoid beating around the Bush and getting the point. In the final 2 stanzas; the tone of the poem takes a pivotal shift, as this time the tree is offering a humble solution to the problems faced, which is to make peace with nature rather than destroy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEhRI0YD3us
