Throughout these last years many trees have been destroyed on our island, some of them by human beings capriciously either to make way for development or for various reasons, while others by harmful insects. Destroying trees for any particular reason makes us children at St. Francis School Cospicua – so sad. So we decided to take action! Thus, in November, after having relevant advice from the Environmental Officer at ‘PARKs’ Malta, we planted seeds at our school. We took good care of them by cultivating and watering them when it was needed, followed their growth process and thus, we can say that in our greenhouse, seeds grew up in hundreds of beautiful plants. Recently, these plants were donated to the ‘PARKs’ Malta where they will also be taken care of and in turn they will be distributed around our Island.

We are very worried about the amount of waste consumed by every human being, especially we are concerned about our country. We know that the amount of waste we send to the landfill is a lot so we need to impement the 3Rs in our daily life. We children spend a lot of time at school were we can be part of a team to minimise waste. Our school implements various actions regarding waste minimisaiton. We students are being educated about the benefits of waste reduction and thus we would like to ecnourage everyone to make waste minimisation a part of everyday life style. Teachers and students work together to achieve this sense of satisfaction. We believe that these small actions we can control this waste as if we reduce the amount of material and reuse products we are reducing the quantity of waste which is sent to the landfill.

Water is a precious resource as nothing can live without water. In Malta we do not have any natural water sources. We are dependent on rain water and the water table. Reverse Osmosis Plants help us meet our demand for water. When it rains, our streets are flooded with run-off water which can be stored if every building had a well or reservoir. People in various countries of the world have to travel every day to find clean water. For these people, water is more precious than diamonds. On the other side, we tend to take this precious resource for granted, since we have it within a tap’s reach.
