Be Green Halloween!

Our turn out was small but luckily the beach was very clean! Mighty impressed ;) We only filled up six rubbish bags! D-Lighted! The sun was shining and a few of the volunteers even enjoyed a swim.

We would also like to send out a big thanks to Andrew McGrath for choosing That's Rubbish! as his first initiative for his upcoming site planetscrub.com which will document all of the hands on ventures happening globally to help our environment. We'll be sure to upload the link once it's up and running!

Get your gloves on!

Summer's End Sweeper Upper

Welcome back fellow Eco Warriors! This was the first That's Rubbish! cleanup after the summer break, and the sands sure needed our hands! There were places behind the bushes where loads of beer cans etc. were dumped... it was an ugly sight but before long our volunteers had it all cleared up! The majority of this rubbish was luckily 90% recyclable.

This time around we filled up more recycle bags than garbage bags. The turnout of volunteers was also impressive considering it was our first time reuniting after the summer break, and lots of new faces were there too!

Thanks to all of you for coming down and doing something with your Sunday that counts!

Back to Buskett

We'd left Buskett a cleaner place back in May but there was still a lot of work to be done. Our friends from GreenHouse Malta were up for the challenge and took charge of the next assault on the rubbish in the woods, and together we accomplished what we originally thought would be impossible, all within a few hours.

GreenHouse also brought entertainment and some of the best vegan food I've ever tasted to the woods that evening. A multi cultural jamming and chow down fest ensued, with everyone thoroughly enjoying the peaceful night atmosphere.

Huge thanks to Joseph, Monique and Malcolm for all their hard work with the organising and to every volunteer who helped us give this section of Buskett a well needed make over. We look forward to working with you guys again!

Back to Buskett!

It's time to head back to the wonderful woods of Buskett to continue what we started. This time, however, we're going along with our friends from GreenHouse Malta who have organised the entire evening's activities.

International Surf Day & clean up

To celebrate Malta's first International Surf Day this Sunday, 20th June, we hit Ghajn Tuffieha with bags, gloves, surf boards galore and a sweet sound system thanks to our very own DJ Digits.

With help from people of all ages and walks of life, we set to work on the sand and surrounding cliffs. After some hard work in the sun we kicked back and relaxed to Ash's tunes - some with cold drinks, some swimming and some getting their first taste of surfing thanks to the pros from Surf Malta.

Earth Garden 2010

This year's Earth Garden was a great opportunity to expose our cause to the public and thanks to our volunteers we did just that. Our brand new shirts sold like hot cakes and it was a wonderful feeling spotting strangers walking around with our logo on their chests.

Big thanks to Intervisions for our great new banner which they kindly donated, our main sponsors NEXT for doing our shirts, Jody from Defined Branding for the fantastic artwork, Malta.com for the support and exposure and everyone who helped make the event happen, donated or pledged to come to our next clean up. See you at Ghajn Tuffieha on the 20th of June! :)
