Qala
Primary School is this year's winner of Green Mt's School Recycling Campaign.
Qala Primary School with 123 students managed a collection of 18920 kilos ,
thus a contribution of 153 kg per capita over a period of eight weeks. Gozo
stood out in this year's competition as second and third places were also
schools from Gozo.
Second place went to Victoria Primary School and third place
to Ghajnsielem Primary School. The collection of recyclables from Gozo amounted
to 60, 400 kilos from 16 Schools.
Thirty
four Schools and Colleges in Malta contributed an additional 44, 123 kilos of
recyclables to this yearly event. Thus a total of 104, 523 kilos of recyclables
were recovered in this year's School Recycling Campaign, Reduce Reuse Recycle.
It
was amazing to see the support of parents and the community at large working together
with the students to win this competition. The amount recovered this year is
40tons more than last year. Green Mt would like to thank all participating
schools, and all those who were part of this Campaign including Heads of
Schools, students and parents who supported this initiative.
Green
Mt would also like to thank the team behind this event, singer Kristina
Casolani, Zoo Media team, Eco Councilors Romina Schembri and last but
definitely not least the two contractors, Aaron Cordina in Malta and Godfrey
Borg in Gozo, supported by the Green Mt back office staff who were very helpful
in making sure that timely collections were made as planned.
A big well done to all!
