This Valentine’s revisit your relationship with the Planet
Valentine’s Day is usually about crushes, relationships, and love stories. But there’s another relationship many young people think about a lot – their relationship with the planet. And let’s be real: it’s complicated. For some, the climate crisis brings anxiety about the future. For others, it sparks anger, grief, guilt, or a constant sense of pressure to “do more”. Sometimes it’s hope, sometimes it’s burnout. Often, it’s all of the above – and possibly, all at the same time. Climate change isn’t just something young people learn about in class or see on the news. It’s something they feel. And...
Dwejra is to be lit up: Government’s “Protection” Law Is a Blatant Betrayal of Dwejra and a Fraud on the Public
The undersigned organisations condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the destructive bill drafted by government under the pretence of “protecting” Dwejra. This law does not protect Dwejra. It vandalises it. It is a calculated assault on the last remaining dark site of the Maltese Islands, dressed up in green language to hoodwink the public.
Environmental NGOs bring the sustainability initiative to the island, working with restaurants and the community to increase planet-conscious options
This February, restaurants and community spaces across Malta are coming together to show how everyday food choices can become powerful climate action.

Why you should support the European Citizens’ Initiative for Palestine
Over the past years, the world has watched Israel commit atrocities against the Palestinian people in Gaza, with mounting evidence from human rights organisations, UN bodies, and civil society that these acts amount to genocide. Yet, the European Union continues business as usual with Israel. The EU is not a bystander: it is Israel’s main trading partner, and its ongoing political and economic cooperation helps sustain a system of colonisation and mass violence. At the same time, Malta often presents itself as being on the “right side of history”. We formally recognised the State of Palestine last year, a fact...
Waste Reduction Before Incineration
In response to the very thorough article written by Denis Zammit Cutajar, on 25th January entitled “A golden opportunity to rethink the waste-management strategy,” I would like to thank the author, and reiterate many of the same points. We should take this opportunity to reevaluate the need for a large incinerator on Malta.
How Bakeries, Restaurants, Grocery Markets, and Farm Stands Can Cut Food Waste
An estimated 20% of the total food produced is lost or wasted in the EU. According to the Malta National Statistics Office, in 2024, Malta generated over 36,000 tonnes of kitchen waste. When food is wasted, all the resources that were used to produce this food, including water, land, energy, and labor hours go to waste. Some waste also occurs at the distribution level, and at businesses. To help address this, Friends of the Earth Malta will soon be launching a new EU-funded food waste reduction app called Food Connect. We would like to invite bakeries, restaurants, grocery markets, and...
