Jurassic World game set in Malta includes pot holes and construction works

May 28 2022

As anticipation continues to build for Jurassic World: Dominion’s global and Malta’s appearance in it, a recently-released mobile game seems to use Malta as location… pot holes, construction works and all.

The game seems to take inspiration from the intense Valletta chase scene which sees Chris Pratt attempt to escape the clutches of a raging dinosaur.

The survival arcade game Jurassic World: Dominion Dinosaur Escape is now available to play… do you see the resemblance?

The film is slated for global release on June 10, 2022 and has received a fair amount of good feedback ahead of its worldwide roll-out. Maltese fans in particular can’t wait to see Malta finally serve as a background for the prehistoric monster franchise.

Here’s what bottle caps in Malta will look like by 2024

May 28 2022

Plastic waste is one of the world’s major environmental problems and if it is not tackled across the board globally, it will continue irreparable changes.

When plastic break down into microplastics, they harm marine life and may also end up in our food or lungs, which is why beverage companies like Coke are rolling out their new caps, amongst other measures.

In accordance to the European Union’s single-use plastics directive and Coke’s World Without Waste initiative, the beverage company has start to roll out bottles with their caps attached.

GSD Marketing Ltd., which is the sole distributor of The Coca-Cola Company in Malta, told Malta Daily that the company has started a plan to comply to the EU’s legislation and will begin to implement “a set of industry standard and consumer preferred solutions that will start rolling out from this year and continuing next year.”

The Coca-Cola Foundation’s community-based initiative ‘Zero Waste Future’ started in Malta in 2019 with focus on waste categorisation, on the go recycling, clean-ups and awareness campaign. The program is in its second phase and will continue developing programs addressing waste.

What do you think of these new caps?
