Together we can change the alarming fact that Malta has the world's highest rate of hospitalisation for emissions-induced lung problems.* We have already succeeding in having legislation introduced to curb building site noise, dust and dirt pollution which contribute to many illnesses. Now we must ensure awareness and enforcement.
• With over 76,000 vacant units, unbuilt plots in towns and villages and a population set to decline, can we afford to build on the what little virgin countryside we have left?
• With the closure of 11 tourist complexes and many more hotels, let us now build hotels on existing sites, not on land of ecological, archaeological and scenic value.
• Let us save our trees and restore our heritage buildings rather than tearing them down. Why are so many of our new buildings considered so ugly?
• By increasing awareness about injuries and damage to properties near building sites caused by unsafe building practices, we can press for stronger legislation and monitoring.
Our lobbying has contributed significantly to official action being taken on protection of heritage buildings, planning abuse, air pollution, public transport and water/energy conservation- let us keep on pressing for improvements to guarantee our quality of life!
WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TOLERATE INSTITUTIONS WHICH DO NOT RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF THE CITIZEN
FAA has set up residents' groups in Malta and Gozo, providing training and constant guidance on planning issues and carrying out extensive campaigns through the hard work of FAA volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to these issues. We have also made the authorities aware that the public has a right to be consulted on environmental developments.
It is time to stop feeling helpless. Join FAA and make a difference. Take the first positive step towards improving things for yourself and future generations!
