1410KG of plastic and debris collected from Malta’s northern coast

Mar 28 2023

Environmental organisation ‘Coast is Clear’ was joined by the Nepal Malta Community for a massive pick up on Malta’s northern coastline.

A whopping 1410kgs of plastic and fishing debris were collected, with heaps of micro plastic which drifted in from as far as Algeria throughout the harsh winter months.

Images shared to social media showed exactly what the organisation was up against in terms of trash to pick up. But with the combined forces of the two groups, as well as a close friend from Britain, they were able to make one of Malta’s coastlines cleaner.

Well done to all involved!

Opposition supports banning of gay conversion therapy promotion

Mar 28 2023

Speaking in Parliament on behalf of the Nationalist Party, Opposition MP Graziella Attard Previ revealed that the position of her party is in favour of the bill which seeks to outlaw gay conversion therapy advertisement.

Attard Previ described the therapy as fake and based on ‘fear and shame’ of LGBTIQ+ people, designed to harm subjects psychologically.

Despite Malta banning gay conversion therapy back in 2016, the law did not make it a crime to promote them. The amendments were announced by Parliamentary Secretary Rebecca Buttigieg in January, revealing that anyone found guilty of promoting them would risk a five month jail term or a fine between €1,000 and €5,000.

Buttigieg also highlighted on Monday that despite the 2016 law, authorities were finding it difficult to prosecute those promoting gay conversion services.

Heartbeats could replace passports by 2070 predicts easyJet

Mar 27 2023

According to airline easyJet, traditional passports will become a thing of the past in the next 50 years as they are replaced by, get this, heartbeats.

The future travel predictions were published in easyJet’s 2070: The Future Travel Report.

In it, the airline predicted that fingerprint scanning technology could be developed to unimaginable heights, with travellers only requiring their heartbeat signatures and biometric details to get through security.

The airline even predicts that packing clothes into your luggage might be a thing of the past as, given 3D printing, travellers could simply choose from a selection of 3D printed, recyclable clothes at hotels.

This might also apply for food as hotel buffet food could all be 3D printed to fit an individual’s taste. But that is not all the airline is predicting…

Through the use of ‘haptic suits’, travellers could journey back into the past through immersive technology to re-experience historical sights as they would have been back in the day.

Apart from all these are smart rooms which adjust themselves to a guest’s requirements and biomimetic sensory plane seats which adapts to a passenger’s body shape.

What do you think of these futuristic travel prospects?
