Environment.
In what ways are humans impacting their environment? How can humans make sure that future generations are allowed the same standards of living that they enjoy? How can the Maltese Islands make sure that they safeguard their environment for the future?
Environment nowadays is being impacted by lots and lots of human’s absolute carelessness. Nowadays people are not thinking about the future generations and their needs. We’re almost over-extracting resources thus being unsustainable. Over-extracting can also be of a waste as not all of the resource is used and so it won’t stay in tact for a long time.
Fishing, irrigation and the combustion of fuels are few of the many reasons. Fossil fuels won’t last forever therefore we need to act sustainable and use less of them. None of the less, the combustion of fossil fuels is harmful to the environment as it emits a lot of gasses and carbon dioxide which are a cause to pollution and also global warming. Fish is also in danger to become a scarce source. People are overfishing thus lessening the amount of fish in the sea. Sometimes, it’s also not a very good idea to grow fish in a fish farm. In Malta, fish farms are allocated to breed ‘Tuna.’ Somehow or another, this fish is not breeding well thus fish is being lost and lessened. Overfishing can lead to a poor rate of fishing and not to mention, if fishing becomes scarce, one might lose his job. Irrigation and the use of pesticides is one of the main reasons why plants are mainly dying and why soil isn’t rich enough like it was. It changed the quantity and the quality of the soil & also irrigation can cause some water logging or soil salination when water is drawn from the river and distributed over the irrigated are. Therefore, humans have to stay extra careful for what to do & how to do it as it can cause any permanent effect on the future generations. We can make sure maybe we don’t extract fossil fuels as much as we do or extract and estimate for how much is
