Lately, I’ve seen a lot of pictures of sea creatures stuck in plastic bags or tied around ropes, turtles eating plastic waste thinking that they are jellyfish, fish washing up on shore, dead with pieces of plastic in their mouths, whales or dolphins caught dead with plastic and ropes tied around their fins. Why is this happening?

On the 31st of January 2023, the Press Kids group together with Ms Charmaine and a few other teachers visited the Farmers’ Market and “Pitkalija” in Ta’ Qali. Sadly, we saw a lot of plastic material everywhere we went. We noticed that most of the vegetables and fruits were being stored in plastic crates. Apart from that, there was a lot of plastic items scattered around the area, including crates, cups, bottles, containers, bags flying in the air, packaging and much more. Recycling is a must, so that nothing goes to waste. Everyone needs to ask, “Is waste really an unwanted, worthless material?” Definitely NOT. So before throwing something away, THINK and see HOW you can reduce, reuse, and recycle waste. The principle of recycling waste is today called the circular economy.

On the 31st January 2023 we went to visit the farmers market, ‘Pitkalija’. We went there to see fresh locally Maltese fruit and vegetables. We want to investigate if local farmers use certified organic practices and if they are support the environment by attempting to minimize waste and pollution. We talked to some farmers and told us about how they take care of their crops. Some uses organic fertilizers to help eliminating the unwanted and harmful contamination. One thing that made us disgusting was how some people throw rubbish like empty plastic bottles on the grass. This can have environmental impact by damaging our soil quality. We were astonished to see a balloon next to the carrots. How come? It was a pity to see these things around the agricultural area. Remember: Don’t forget to bring your own shopping bag to shop local!

Nowadays we are faced with several environmental issues such as pollution, overpopulation, waste disposal, climate change, global warming and the Greenhouse effect problems, among others. This is all because we humans do not take care of our environment and prefer ‘progression’. I am going to address the topic of trees.

Trees are a gift from nature. They have numerous benefits. However, unluckily, today rich people and selfish politicians who think only about making money, are destroying a lot of trees to make way for construction and new roads.

Trees have been with us throughout our lives. They make our lives healthy and better. Trees, like plants, store carbon dioxide, helping to slow down the greenhouse build-up in our atmosphere, that has been warming our planet. Paper production is adding further pressure on the world forests, that are already at risk. In future, it can only get get worse.
