WasteServ Malta Ltd has extended its support to the environmental education project EkoSkola for this year, with a contribution of e3,200. The money will help Nature Trust (Malta), which manages the project as the representative of FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), to cover FEE membership for the year.

The project runs in over 50 countries worldwide. In Malta, since it kicked off in 2002, EkoSkola has grown from six primary schools to 73. Four schools have so far achieved Green Flag status – an international award given to those which meet the rigid criteria of environmental management. Another four schools have obtained the Silver Award and three have received the Bronze Award.

Vincent Attard, president of Nature Trust (Malta) said: “WasteServ’s support will help NTM as FEE’s Malta Office to keep up the educational programmes of EkoSkola and Young Reporters for the Environment, by footing our membership obligations to FEE International.”

“We believe very much in collaborating with NGOs and other entities that can help us raise awareness on matters of waste,” said Vince Magri, chief executive officer at WasteServ Malta Ltd.
