There are several ways to get involved in the community and volunteering and cleanups are just one (albeit very popular!) way of doing it in Malta.
If you're interested in getting involved with this community, might we suggest the following:
Friends of the Earth, an NGO devoted to protecting the environment. They recently took over an oven on Comino, a barely inhabited island (6 inhabitants)! For more information about Comino, read our article.
Żibel. Literally meaning "trash" they devote themselves to cleanups, both above and below the water, and helping the environment in any way they can.
Raniero's Adventures. Raniero is a one-man cleaning machine. Together with friends and fellow travellers he has removed tonnes and tonnes of debris from the sea. If you like your adventures and cleanups underwater, Raniero is the man to speak to.
Malta Cleanup is the page to go to to learn more about planned and upcoming cleanups around our islands!
A big thank you for getting involved in the community!
