I'll be talking about Christmas celebrations in Malta. In Maltese Christmas is called il-milied, most people that live in Malta are Catholics and go to a midnight mass service.the churches are always decorated with lights and a nativity crib or presepju in Maltese. The figure of baby Jesus from the nativity cribs is put on the main altar at midnight on Christmas night. Some food that people in Malta eat around Christmas, are baked pork with potatoes, than the meal is finished off with fresh fruit. If you ever visit Malta around the Christmas season, you should visit the live crib in Ghajnsielem Gozo it is Spread out on an area of 20,000 square meters, with 150 actors residents of Ghajnsielem and many others. Another thing you should visit is the Popeye's village theme park, also known as Popeye village film set. It is turned into a Santa's village, as well as the many Christmas markets all over the island.

plastic pollution in water has become a major issue in today society. did you know that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our seas and oceans then fish and that everyday approximately 8 million pieces of plastic and waste makes its way into our water. 73% of beach litter is plastic mostly bottle, bags , bottle caps, and food rappers.plastic water pollution causes over 1 million marine animals (ex. turtles, whales, crabs, sea birds,and many types of fish) a year to die because of the plastic,waste and pollution in our water. there is a way to stop having so much plastic in the water, you at home can help by recycling properly, reduce your use of single use plastic, use reusable products like mesh bags instead of plastic when at the store, don't litter, use metal water bottles, and you can participate in beach clean ups. humans are use plastic all the time each minute worldwide over a million water bottles have been purchased and every minute 2 million plastic bags have been purchased and hopefully in the text few years we can reduces the number of plastic being bought .
the topic of the climate change is in an up roar. climate change has increasingly gotten worse by the world temperature rising , ice melting causing water levels to rise,as well as many animals going in danger such as sea turtles, gorillas, tigers, rhinos and bees and if the arctic and glaciers keep melting possibly polar bears. climate change will and is affecting us all, the weather our animals which will affect our food and nature. climate change isn't only affecting temperature weather wise it also affects the different natural disasters and storms that happened , happening or that are going to happen. one thing that is happening because of climate change that i think is really going to impact us is temperature rising. i think of temperature levels rising as the start of a domino affect, as soon as the while world is warming it will cause snow and ice melting which will cause sea levels to rise even more and cause animals living in those areas to be affected temperature level rising will also cause more heat waves and for animals all over the world to be confused which will mess up our ecosystem which will effect us all. when i'm older i would like to help change climate change by green mu commute by walking more using bike and not using a car as often as most people do, i will also try to use as less waste and using reusable products, eating less meats and get politically active by voting for people who want to help climate change,donating to organizations who will help and by joining in on strikes to make a change.
My thoughts on public transit is two sided. one side is positive , public transit help people get to work,school,stores/malls and home from after being at all these places. people who don't have cars and need to commute far there only option is public transit for example using trains buses streetcars and subways . my old sister goes to university in Toronto she gets there by taking the go train, subway and walking with out that she would have no way to get to school and home. my negative side has somethings to say , bad things about public transit is how long it could take to wait for the train,bus,subway, the subways buses or trains might be crowed which might be a horrible situation for some people, and public transit might get expensive especially those in school. one last thing is pollution in times like now with climate change public transit plays a big part in air pollution . i think we should never get rid of public transit especially in cities and big towns.
