Beer bottles for road building

Feasts are one of the main attractions on the island during summer. The other morning while passing by Zebbug square, after a very nice feast celebrated throughout the week, I noticed thousands of beer bottles on the ground.

Lately we heard in the news that glass will be crushed and recycled to be used in new roads under construction.

It might be a good idea to introduce a scheme for band clubs or other NGOs that organise such activities, giving a financial incentive according to the number of beer bottles collected.

The environment would benefit and these organisations would be helped financially, helping to keep our culture alive.
