St
Margaret College Girls Secondary held its Celebration Day last week during
which Green MT deemed it fit to present an award to this Girls Secondary for
placing first in Green MT's "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" campaign. They placed
first from all participating schools in Malta.
The
competition, held over a period of eight weeks, in the last school semester of
2012/ 2013 recovered over 110 tons. St Margaret College Girls Secondary
recovered 42kg per capita per student in this period.
The
College asked Green MT to provide funds for a Greenhouse, a request which was
acceded to. Whilst presenting the Award to the School, Mr Paul Abela, Director
of Green MT and GRTU President thanked the students for their contribution to
society through the recovery of recyclable materials. He noted that the
logistics for all these collections was eventually paid for by the business
community.
Green
MT has an educational obligation through its permit and within its financial
boundaries will do its best to continue such campaigns.
Green
MT operates recovery of recyclable waste from 33 Local Councils covering 45% of
the Maltese population. The scheme has just over 1,300 financial contributors
as producer member. Green MT can be contacted on 79002263 or 99041462 during
