One good action a day keeps the doctor away

Info

WHAT will be done

Description:

By inviting residents to the events she organizes, the action developer aims to create/strengthen people’s awarenesses on the importance of keeping the environment clean: her actions show them how to sort out properly (in a country where this is far from be a common practice) and become more virtuous citizens. Furthermore, by talking to them about her usual activity as a Problem Solver and thus showing the results achieved, especially thanks to her clean-ups, she expects to attract attention, and hopefully interest, towards such topics (respect for the environment and for oneself, climate change, sorting, reduction of food waste and packaging, …). All learning comes from her experience, both personal and professional, and the skills she acquired.

Since the theme of EWWR 2024 is food waste, the action developer intends to involve the local entities that supply raw materials to the country; specifically, companies and shops selling fruit and vegetables. The aim is to ensure that their products, which are still edible but unfit fot sale, are distributed among the less wealthy population, such as foreigners from third world countries/unemployed or temporary workers, parishes that will distribute to the poor, etc. Furthermore, the inedible food can be distributed to companies and individuals to be used as a natural fertilizer in agriculture, both for those who are lucky enough to own one or more plots of land, and for Maltese farms/agricultural companies.

In addition to the above, at least one large collective clean-up is also planned during the next EWWR; this will involve several local entities such as: public and government bodies, companies/businesses, groups, children, youth, adults and the elderly, both private individual/citizens, and members of associations.

She offers free help to those who are unable to sort their waste or want to learn how to do it correctly.

Practical examples will also be provided, e.g. on how to reuse food, packages to contain cigarette butts, avoiding abandoning them in the environment, as well as suggestions on how not to produce/reduce waste, stop smoking and consume junk food…

The goal is to have a cleaner and therefore healtier world, starting from where the action developer currently operates, Malta; so she wish fellow residents, citizens and expats to join her in November during the EWWR, around the country or just outside on the sidewalk in front or their blocks/houses, to support each other, especially in improving sort out (separate waste collection), as she has been doing for a long time, and discover effective methods for keeping the environment we all live in as clean and healty as possible.

It will also be a way to socialize and help each other where we have difficulties alone, in fact, helping disabled/sick or elderly people, particularly to sort out or dispose of their waste, is part of the objective too.

She invites them to feel free to share the notice with others, to participate and to bring their waste to be sorted.

N.B. All this will be made public through the web (social media, etc.)
