Have you seen this amount of plastic overflowing in a skip? Did you know that to produce 14 plastic bags it takes the equivalent amount of the fuel required to drive one mile? This picture was taken in Mrieħel next to some shops. Action could have been taken by reducing packaging and saying “no” to single-use plastic. As a student at Dingli Primary School, I am aware that lots of action is being taken by the school to reduce plastic waste.

Litter is causing long-term harm to the few green spaces we have around our islands and also to the creatures living there. Ultimately it is the fault of those people who litter everywhere they go. Awareness, education and initiatives like clean-ups, can help tackle the problem.

During our visit to Buskett, it was very sad to see all the litter scattered everywhere, in spite of there being lots of bins around. Nature provides us with clean air and taking care of our enviornment makes it a better place for us all to live in. Even the water in the stream will become polluted and cause the frogs to die. If we do not change this atitude the damage will be irreversible. This entry is linked to SDG 15 (Life on Land).
