Making Malta Green and Clean’ is a public-private campaign launched in 2018. The campaign has the aim of encouraging people to take pride in their street, town or village by keeping it clean and tidy, thus helping to boost Malta's tourism product. The multi-media campaign is promoted on both radio and online, and educates residents to do their part to make Malta cleaner, safer, and greener, to the benefits of residents and tourists alike. As part of the campaign, on 24th March 2018, a clean-up in Malta’s sandy beach of Għajn Tuffieħa took place, in collaboration with a local NGO.
