(From timesofmalta.com) Malta – Over 100 kilogrammes of waste were recovered from the seabed at Il-Fossa, also known as Jews Sally Port, in Valletta, by a group of 22 HSBC employees as part of a clean-up campaign organised by the HSBC Cares For The Environment Fund.
The diving school also participated in the clean-up, removing all kinds of waste from the seabed, ranging from glass and plastic bottles to food wrappers, containers and even a spin dryer.
Small marine creatures found in the waste collected were returned to their natural environment, a bank spokesman said.
The HSBC Cares for the Environment Fund was established in 2004. The objectives of the Fund are to:
* organise activities so as to improve the environment in Malta; and
* take initiatives that enhance public awareness on environmental issues.
