A look back at our Community Garden session with Social Permaculture workshop

Let’s take a look back at last Saturday’s Community Garden session, which featured a Social Permaculture workshop this time, as it was the multiplier event for the Social PEAS project. Thanks to the 35 amazing participants who joined us in our community garden. Together, we dove into the heart of sustainability and connection.
We prepared soil mix with recycled coconut coir and mushroom peat, sourced locally from farmers. Then, we planted different fruit trees to be able to grow and harvest a variety of fruits in the future, as well as seasonal veggies.

Wrapping up the adventures of our Bike About project

As the wheels of the Bike About project come to a gentle halt, it’s time to reflect on the journey we’ve had over the past year. Bike About wasn’t just about promoting cycling in Malta; it was about empowering people to use bicycles on Maltese roads and providing them with the required knowledge and resources. The first highlight of this adventure was purchasing an electric cargo bike—a game-changer in our quest for sustainable mobility.

Embrace: reconnect with nature

In Embrace we want to offer opportunities for young people to reconnect with nature. We want to create a caring community, based in nature to increase creativity, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve the ovehealth of both people and the planet. In nature there are no expectations to fulfil, and as long as we respect the different beings living there, we will be welcomed and included. Here we can be ourselves, individually and together with other young people.

Friends of the Earth Malta and Ecostack Innovations Launch Project to Protect Reptiles and Amphibians

Reptiles and amphibians, collectively referred to as herpetofauna, confront significant challenges on a global scale. The reality of climate change disturbs their body temperatures, and human activities result in habitat loss, leaving them more vulnerable. Contrary to expectations, warmer climates do not necessarily benefit these creatures; instead, they find themselves navigating a perplexing maze to maintain comfort. Additionally, there exists a startling lack of awareness regarding the indispensable roles these animals fulfil within ecosystems. The relentless expansion of urban areas and ongoing development activities rapidly diminish their natural habitats. The project, titled HerpTrust, seeks to address these challenges locally. The...
