There will be no Gozo Rocks Clean & Green Hike tomorrow, Sunday, as organiser Louis Debattista is busy with final arrangements before leaving on his trip to the USA next week.
Louis said that, "the last 3 months hiking around Gozo were beautiful and meeting up with a few new people. It was encouraging to see less trash on the paths and along the coast although some problem areas still have very heavy dumping and littering."
"I wish I had seen more Gozitans participate in the hikes; it is such a nice opportunity to explore the island on foot and do something good for the environment. We are grateful to the Gozo Minster and EcoGozo for helping us to keep doing what is right."
Louis also to the local councils that supported the hikes. "Qala Local Council has made new `No Littering' signs (in Maltese) and has given us three to post on our hikes. It would be great if other local councils did the same; we would be happy to post them when we clean in their respective areas."
"The hikes will resume when I return from the States. In addition to more hikes in Gozo, we will be doing one hike to clean Comino and will have a celebration there, that's a promise!"
Louis ended by saying, "I want to thank all the volunteers: you all made Gozo Proud! I am Gozitan, I am Gozo Proud."
