The idea behind the orange scrub is to make students aware about the importance or recycling and to combat climate change.
Agricultural products such as fruit and vegetables need a large amount of water to grow (and it is good to keep in mind that in Malta there is water shortage), and they also need energy for production and transport, as well as agricultural land. The Machinery as well as the transport, all use some kind of fuel to operate and all this damages the environment. Apart from that, when food rot and is thrown into landfills, its decomposition produces methane, a greenhouse gas that leads to climate change.

This project brought together students from different forms who attend the Geography Club to work together and to tie awareness of resource use and recycling to practical solutions for reducing environmental impact.
