What is Plogging? Its a combination of Picking up Litter and Jogging!
Yes! It’s a real thing! Plogging started in Sweden in 2016 and since then has spread all over the world as a means of reducing plastic pollution. Read more about it on its Wikipedia page.
Our goal is to encourage all residents to take action in our communities and make our public spaces beautiful places.
Join us by running, jogging, walking or strolling in your chosen location. Anyone can plog anywhere!
