Catch the Drop<br />
Campaign<br />
Turning on the tap and letting the<br />
water flow endlessly is something<br />
you do without thinking. Fresh water<br />
is a small percent of all water on earth<br />
and the amount of fresh water<br />
available shrinks every year.<br />
The ‘Catch the Drop’ campaign helps one<br />
to become aware of the need for water<br />
conservation. It makes one aware of how much water<br />
is wasted and how we can adapt our everyday<br />
habits to minimize our water-footprint. A number of<br />
school children have joined up and have started<br />
practising water-saving initiatives. Harvey has joined<br />
the campaign!<br />
Save water<br />
Water is life<br />
Every drop counts<br />
Do not waste water<br />
Are you joining up?<br />
Will you help conserve water?<br />
Will you help to catch every drop?<br />
Will you encourage others to do it?<br />
Harvey shows us a number of<br />
ways on how you can save water.<br />
Will you follow his example?<br />
A Word from the Minister<br />
You and me can help make a<br />
difference. We need to understand<br />
that we do not have an endless<br />
supply of water around us. Water is<br />
a natural treasure. The conservation<br />
of water is very important for Malta<br />
and Gozo. Changing our lifestyles<br />
and daily habits will help us use<br />
water sensibly. All it takes is a little<br />
bit of extra effort from our side. So<br />
let us all give it a big push to make<br />
it happen.<br />
Thank you<br />

Trees stop the soil<br />
from eroding<br />
SOMETHING TO<br />
THINK ABOUT…1 TO 6<br />
How trees help to keep water clean and soil healthy<br />
1) Soaking up pollutants to keep water clean<br />
2) Creating shade to keep the water cool<br />
3) Oxygenating the water for fish and wildlife<br />
4) Preventing the soil from eroding<br />
5) Helping to reduce the risks of flooding<br />
6) Protecting nutrients in the soil from nasty insects<br />
Something else to<br />
think about…1 to 6<br />
There are 6 grids and each grid is to be numbered 1 to 6.<br />
Every row across and every row down is numbered 1 to 6.<br />
But bear in mind that 1 to 6 appears only once in each<br />
individual line.<br />

The importance of<br />
living with trees<br />
Trees are for life,<br />
for health and healing<br />
Trees reach<br />
their best<br />
after 10 years<br />
- removing<br />
carbon waste<br />
from the air<br />
to produce<br />
life-giving<br />
oxygen<br />
Trees make life more<br />
enjoyable, peaceful,<br />
relaxing<br />
Trees provide fruit<br />
and nuts to eat<br />
Trees stop the soil from<br />
eroding helping to keep<br />
the rivers clean and<br />
healthy for fish and<br />
wildlife<br />
Trees add colour,<br />
beauty and grace to<br />
the community and<br />
the countryside<br />
Trees provide homes<br />
for wildlife and safe<br />
places for birds to<br />
nest<br />
Trees need care and<br />
attention at all times -<br />
we can’t allow disease<br />
to destroy them<br />
Trees for homes, for<br />
food, for medicine, for<br />
living in comfort<br />
Tree planting can be<br />
fun – count the<br />
years and watch<br />

Trees produce falling<br />
leaves to provide<br />
compost for the<br />
garden<br />
Trees create shade<br />
from the sun to<br />

THE EASY <strong>WATER</strong> ACTION PLAN<br />
10 SIMPLE WAYS TO USE <strong>WATER</strong> WISELY<br />
1 Repair dripping taps now.<br />
2 Do not leave the tap running while you brush your teeth.<br />
3 Don't overfill the kettle when making a hot drink.<br />
4 Take a quick shower rather than a bath.<br />
5 Only use the washing machine or dishwasher when you<br />
have a full load.<br />
6 Think before throwing used water down the drain! How<br />
can it be reused?<br />
7 Use a (broom) bucket of water for washing the yard or<br />
watering the garden – not a hose pipe.<br />
8 Keep the water catchment area and the cistern in your<br />
home in good condition.<br />
9 Use water from the cistern for flushing, to water the<br />
garden or wash floors, cars and more.<br />
10 Consider a second class water flushing system for your<br />
home.

I lap up everything that<br />
is good in life and that includes<br />
clean, fresh drinking water. We all<br />
need water for life and we should not<br />
take it for granted. Every drop is a<br />
gem to treasure so let’s do our<br />
bit towards making a<br />
difference to the world.<br />

Messages from<br />

<strong>HARVEY</strong>.<strong>WATER</strong>.<strong>TREE</strong>.<strong>BOOK.2015</strong>/<strong>16</strong> 1/2/<strong>16</strong> <strong>16</strong>:07 Page 24<br />
Climate change is disrupting nature<br />
so we must learn how to preserve<br />
our planet. Global warming is<br />
contributing to water shortages<br />
around the world and everyone<br />
should be aware that man is<br />
responsible for the problems.<br />
So much waste can be recycled<br />
and so much water can be<br />
conserved if we just stop and<br />
think!<br />
Surrounded by the beautiful<br />
waters of the Mediterranean<br />
Sea, would you believe that<br />
Malta is one of the driest<br />
countries in the world? As one<br />
of the countries having the<br />
least amount of water-resources,<br />
the fear is that Malta is<br />
becoming drier, and with added<br />
inconsistencies in rainfall,<br />
flooding also means that water<br />
is lost. The population is<br />
growing with an influx of tourists<br />
especially in the summer months, so<br />
whilst water consumption is increasing,<br />
water resources are decreasing.<br />
With no time to waste we should start<br />
now and ‘Catch every drop’.<br />
Harvey<br />
Knows...<br />
There are 5 hidden words<br />
in Harvey's picture<br />
Can you find them?<br />
Short showering uses less water than filling up a tub, but sometimes I like to relax in a bath of bubbles.<br />
As you can see my animal friends have the same idea in helping me to save water - with a plan that we<br />
all get in the bath together! If only there was enough room! The duck can’t stand the<br />
bubbles and the fish is trying to escape at the sight of the oncoming scuba diver.<br />
