Minister Farrugia visited the Centre for Heavy Waste in Luqa, where some reusable objects were already on display. Farrugia went on to state that this project is one of the most effective in decreasing our impact on the environment and highlighted the fact that these centres are aimed at creating a sustainable and circular economy.

WasteServ Chief Executive Richard Bilocca stated that via these centres, WasteServ will be preventing waste by promoting the use of objects which are still in good condition whilst also encouraging creative & responsible consumption as well as a hopeful increase in DIY projects.

Werner hasn’t had the best of times in London. In his first season with the Blues he didn’t show the goal scoring prowess he showed in Germany. This year he will be partnered up with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku who has just won a historic Scudetto with Inter Milan. The player also posted on Twitter.

Thanks for all the love and support I received today, Blues Fans! Really appreciate it🙏 pic.twitter.com/aXsXZZGbJQ

We wish Timo and Chelsea the best of luck in their season.

More dog-friendly beaches requested by Animal Welfare Commissioner

Aug 19 2021

Animal welfare commissioner Alison Bezzina has called for an increase in dog-friendly beaches and increased education on the subject in the midst of national debate on the matter. Bezzina stated that discussions with the relevant entities and authorities are currently underway regarding the possibility of an increase in dog-friendly beaches.

The final decision will ultimately be taken by the Environmental Health Directorate and Superintendent for Public Health. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) current guidelines state that dogs affect the water’s quality and people’s health.

Malta currently has seven dog-friendly beaches while Gozo has two. Anyone caught breaking the law and taking their dogs to other beaches may be subject eligible for a fine of up to €4,658 or a six-month prison sentence for the first infraction and up to €11,646 or a two-year prison sentence for the second.

Lionel Messi’s press conference tissue is selling for $1 million

Aug 19 2021

Of all of the things Lionel Messi is being associated with at the moment, one of the key words is ‘money’ as the Argentinian football superstar is selling kits and merchandise left, right and centre and shows no signs of slowing down.

However, one piece of Messi memorabilia that definitely caught everyone off guard is the tissue he used during the emotional FC Barcelona farewell press conference, which is selling for a whopping $1 million.

The tissue was reportedly obtained by an anonymous man who sat in the front row of the press conference and managed to pick it up, going on to put it on international auction site Meikeduo.

The unique sales pitch attached with the auction of this tissue is that it “contains Messi’s genetic material”; the tissue remains for sale without any bids as of yet.
