Win a bee hotel or get a free tote bag! Would you like to help us save bees and ecosystems while having the chance of winning a bee hotel for your own home or office? Over the past months Friends of the Earth Malta has been circulating the petition (read more here) as part of a European Citizen Initiative which calls on the European Commission to phase out synthetic pesticides by 2035, restore biodiversity and support farmers in the transition. We are aiming to reach the 4500 threshold by this September to add our share to several countries who are attempting to reach the total 1 million mark in the EU.

Purple and lilac are once again the colours of this month’s featured flower thanks to the spectacular blooming of the Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) which occasionally has pinkish lighter flowers. Known with various names in both Maltese (Għadiba, Bżar tal-Patrijiet) and English (Chasteberry, Monk’s Peppers) this deciduous Mediterranean species is one of the only indigenous shrubs to bloom against all odds in the hottest, driest months providing a blessing to many insects at a time when hardly anything else flowers in the countryside. The fragrant leaves start falling in autumn when its fruits become more prominent in the form of black, hard seeds looking like peppercorns on spikes.

We have been collecting questions from the public directed at MEPs during the past month. We have had the opportunity to sit down with 4 out of the 6 Maltese MEPs to ask them an array of questions related to solidarity, green transport, tax harmonisation, wealth disparity and many more topics. Watch the video below to see what Malta’s MEPs had to say.
