3,600 Trees To Be Planted By Parks Malta As Part Of Clean-Up Campaign
Parks Malta has begun planting 3,600 trees in open spaces as it marked the end of its clean up campaign.
This campaign was focused on waste in valleys and natural areas and the volunteers of the different projects collected 1,800 tonnes of trash from 30 different valleys.
Consequently, the government entity will plant two trees for each tonne of collected waste, thus amounting to 3,600 trees.
More than 40 voluntary organisations, local councils, companies, and educational institutions took part in some 55 cleaning activities across the nation during this campaign.
“I am thankful to everyone who participated in these clean-ups in valleys and other areas during the last few months; however, I also encourage the public to keep our country clean. Such clean-up campaigns are aimed at demonstrating the importance of reducing, recycling, reusing, and responsibly disposing of waste”, Environment Minister Miriam Dalli stated.
