One Tribe Saves The Seas on Feb 25th

Thanks to the Get Up Stand Up Crew for a great gathering at the beach today for our clean up...

We all gathered together as one with some local refugees and had a lovely day in the sun. 

Get Up Stand Up crew

The far end of the beach was in a bit of a state, but it didn't remain that way for long... as our Beach Cleanin Ninja's pulled on their gloves and got down to the dirty work.

No matter how old we get, boys always love getting muddy.

We found lots of wood washed up from the sea and plenty of plastic bottle caps, although I have seen the beach in much worse of a state. We got down right dirty and full of clay but that was half of the fun...

Ann enjoying her first That's Rubbish clean up!

That's Rubbish/Get Up Stand Up managed to fill 15 Rubbish bags and 5 recycle bags. It feels great to know you've saved that much more from going back into the sea.

We were pleased to get a visit from Nicole Kil Nielsen who works for the Green Party/EU Parliament in France. Her support was very much welcomed and she was so happy to see such an initiative taking place that she even wrote about this to the EU Parliament! Yay!

Romina, one of our most dedicated regulars!

Green is the New Black.. Stay tuned for our 3rd Annual Ocean's Initiative Cleanup on March 24th!

Today's team!

That's Rubbish on the Travel Channel

Last year we had the pleasure of meeting the three man crew of the new Travel Channel show 'The Ethical Hedonist', which revolves around a passion for travel; the ethical way. The first episode of the series is set here, on our very own sunny island, where we were asked to take them along on one of our clean ups. 

You can check it out for yourselves on the Travel Channel with the upcoming air dates on the right hand side of the page. You'll also be able to watch sections on ethical eating and filming with our friends from Birdlife Malta.

It was a great pleasure meeting you Bob & Co, and many thanks for having us! 

New Year's Clean up

That's Rubbish is back in action at the beach, and boy did it need a good clean. The winter currents have done their worst and dragged in heaps of plastic which littered the entire beach. 

Within two hours we had collected 12 recycling bags full and 9 with other waste. 

Despite not being able to get rid of all the tiny plastic pieces strewn over the rocks and sand, the bay looked miles better once we were done with it. Every item we stopped from getting pulled back out to sea is one less hazard to our Mediterranean sea life! 

Thanks to everyone who came along, both old and new volunteers - it was great fun spending the afternoon with you all :)

That's Rubbish! on MaltaToday

That's Rubbish kicking off the year with an article on Malta Today. Michelle speaks about how it all began, what we do and why - do take a look!

PS. Here's a quick reminder about our next clean up this Sunday, 8th Jan at Ghajn Tuffieha from 12:00 - 14:00. If you can't bring a friend along, you'll be sure to make a new one by the end of the afternoon :)

Cheers!
