The National Beach Cleanup in Malta and Gozo on September 14.In celebration of World Cleanup Day, Vuċi Kollettiva, an environmental NGO, is organising a nationwide beach cleanup across Malta and Gozo on September 14, 2024. The event aims to combat plastic pollution and raise awareness about the importance of maintaining clean beaches. Volunteers will gather simultaneously at three locations: Għajn Tuffieħa Bay (Riviera Beach), Pretty Bay, and Ramla Beach (Gozo) from 9am to 11am.
Kris Bajada, president of Vuċi Kollettiva, emphasised the collective impact of the initiative: “By working together, we can make a real difference in keeping our islands clean and green.” This event is part of the global World Cleanup Day movement, uniting millions of volunteers, governments, and organisations in 191 countries to tackle the global waste problem.
The beach cleanup is also part of Vuċi Kollettiva’s larger Project Aquafy initiative, which aims to install free public water fountains, reducing single-use plastic bottle waste while ensuring universal access to drinking water. Bajada highlighted the project’s significance: “Project Aquafy is an ambitious project, but we believe it’s essential for the well-being of our communities and our planet.”
Individuals interested in participating can contact Vuċi Kollettiva via direct message on their social media platforms for more information. Join the movement and make a difference in keeping Malta and Gozo’s beaches clean and beautiful!
