What went down: Plogging is a global movement that anyone can join and it directly helps your community. Plogging comes from the Swedish term “plogga.” Stockholm, Sweden became the first city to host an organized “Plogga” in 2016. This event combined a jog, jogga in Swedish, with picking up litter, plocka up. Approximately 150 million Americans get their exercise by walking, running, and jogging outdoors. Of this, some 60 million are traveling between 11 and 25 miles each week. Imagine the difference we could make if just 5% percent of this group organized to cleanup trails and paths that improve the quality of our communities and our access to wild places.
Volunteers went on a walk, jog, or run on their favorite community trail or route around their neighborhood and picked up any litter they saw along their route.
