PLOGGING

Everything you need to know to start plogging!

Plogging is the combination of two words: “jogging” and the Swedish phrase for pick up, “plocka upp” and it means you get exercise and make a difference – all while maintaining your social distance. And really, what’s not to love about getting fitter while picking up litter?

And the best bit? You don’t even have to jog…plodding, walking, hiking and paddling are all totally fine! How energetically you participate is entirely up to you – the important part is picking up rubbish as you go.

The Clean Up Australia PLOG-A-THON is the ideal way to get your essential exercise while cleaning up your neighbourhood – it’s the way you become a force for good!

WHAT YOU NEED

• Something to collect the rubbish in (bag of some kind, a basket or a bucket)

• You might want to wear REUSABLE gloves or a pair of tongs for picking up rubbish.
