I was recently informed that a heap of refuse was lying beside a beautifully built traditional rubble wall. This consists of old chairs, plastic bottles, metal cans and plastic bags being dumped on the rubble wall as well as between the stones, slowly crushing the flora that grows there. As one can clearly see, this state of affairs is causing a real eyesore, the more so since this area is very popular with hikers. Local farmers also informed us that this heap of refuse was regularly visited by rats. We appeal to the authorities concerned to remove this refuse as quickly as possible, to clean the area and to erect a sign with a warning that persons caught dirtying the place will be prosecuted and an appeal to be environment friendly.

The increase in waste being generated is one of the major environmental problems nowadays. Many are aware of this problem but this is not enough… it’s time to ACT. With a LITTLE thought waste can be reused and therefore reduced. Moreover, care must be taken when disposing of waste for a better environment. By doing this, you will also be saving a lot of money.

During the past years in Zejtun, there has been a new kind of development which regards houses: clustered housing. Blocks of apartments are being built in private gardens of old houses or are replacing existing houses. These apartments are not only gobbling up the few 'green area' which was left in the urban area of Zejtun, but are also much smaller in size than traditional houses/apartments. This is effecting both the environment and family life. weblink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x320oqDNMy0
