MPs help in clean-up
A number of MPs including Resources Minister George Pullicino and Opposition environment spokesman Leo Brincat today joined in a clean-up at Hal Far as part of Clean Up the World activities.
The activities started on Thursday and involved government workers, employees of a number of private companies, local councils, volunteers, school children and NGOs.
Clean-ups were held at L-Ahrax tal-Mellieha, Mellieha and Ghajn Tuffieha beaches, Bahar ic-Caghaq, Gnien Kottoner Cospicua, the Bugibba/Qawra rocky promenade and the Mdina and Valletta bastions.
Mr Brincat earlier visited the Foresta 2000 Grove at Mellieha, where he insisted that Malta's environmental assets need to be protected and cared for as much as the cultural heritage.

Why not bring out the prison inmates and the immigrants what is the purpose of leaving people idle on benefits contributing nothing

Prosit to George and to Leo. I would have wished them to instigate the San Gwann Local Council (their constituents) to follow their example and do some cleaning in San Gwann, especially the Kappara area. Xorta haqqhom prosit George u Leo u nispera li l-ezempju jkaxkar.

Prosit - well done to both MPs and all the other volunteers taking part in this clean up. I do hope that the rubbish collected would be disposed of by volunteers - In St. Pauls' Bay divers & friends this summer held a clean up day just by the Sirens Pitch - very well and well done = but after the photo shoot with all the dirt in front = so they can show what they found - they left it all there for the rubbish guys to come and collect = it took a total of 3 days to collect all the rubbish!
