How do I become a Plogger?
It's so easy! Become a plogger by putting on gloves, grabbing trash bags in your pockets, and looking for trash around you and along your route, which you pick up in your trash bag. When the bag is full, you put it in a general trash can or sort it properly, if possible.
It's so easy to become a Plogger!
By walking or jogging, you can add stretching and squatting to your fitness routine. By kayaking and rowing, you can find great places to land, while also looking out for litter on the waters and beaches. And best of all, by moving around in nature, you reduce the amount of litter, especially plastic, that ends up in our waterways, other parts of our nature, and the air we breathe.
And hey, style is free. As long as we get rid of the trash in our environment!
Nothing ignites a sense of community like a shared goal for a cleaner world.
The power of plogging lies in its diversity and community.
