Mug called Keep Waters Clean was launched and sold in 2015. The mug is also known as the HSR mug, and it was manufactured directly for the Keep Sweden Tidy / Håll Sverige Rent - foundation. With the mug, Arabia wanted to make a statement for protection of the environment and the sea, as these were very important issues to Tove Jansson. In the 1970s Tove and Lars Jansson illustrated several Moomin posters to the campaign for Saving the Baltic Sea. The images in the mug are naturally from a poster designed by the Janssons. The mug was sold in Sweden and exceptionally and exclusively in Moomin Shops in Helsinki and in the moomin.com online store.
