We have until the 30th of March to collect signatures for this petition, to save Bees and Farmers in the EU, and we need your help! Spare only a minute to help stop the extinction of biodiversity and say no to a dead-end system. It's a fast, easy and free way to act!
Friends of the Earth Malta, together with over a hundred organisations from across the EU, have recently launched a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) with the aim of collecting at least one million signatures. Your voice can really make a difference, because our demands will have to be considered by the European Commission.

Many have transformed their living spaces over the pandemic months as it became quite clear that some form of nature connection is desperately needed when going through a strict lockdown. The importance of this vital link we have with nature has been recognised for a long time as we see described so well in our Green Library Book of the Month below. May we come to see greener urban spaces sprout all over Malta and may 2021 bring us all closer to nature in respect and in awe of its vitality!

In January, Jerusalem Artichockes are in season.
This vegetable, Helianthus tuberosus, is not truly an artichoke but a variety of sunflower with a lumpy, brown-skinned tuber that often resembles a ginger root.
Read more and check out our Jerusalem Artichocke Soup recipe!

This January, you can borrow award-winning environmentalist Vandana Shiva's book Staying Alive, in our green lending library based in Floriana.
It shows that "ecological destruction and the marginalization of women are not inevitable". Through the example of Indian women's experiences and insight, she shows how they are initiating solutions to stop the destruction of nature. This book will give you reasons to stay hopeful and determined for this New Year!
