Winds show how dirty we are

Ever noted that in Malta, when the wind gets strong, so much dirt lies around?

The cause is easy to understand. Unfortunately, we Maltese are heavy dumpers. We throw away lots of stuff away in the outside environment, such as from car windows or by accidentally dropping objects. Such items such as paper, plastic bags and bottles etc tend to congregate in shadowy corners, at the base of trees or wherever. Thus, only some patches look dirty.

However, the wind of the last days has shown our true colours. Go walk anywhere you like and you'll find lots of rubbish lying / flying around.

And for heaven's sake do not blame the laziness of garbage / litter collectors. It if were not for our constant and obscene littering, these people would not have a job!

Yes, we are a dirty people.
