Plogging Get Fitter with Litter and Adopt a Street

Plogging

‘Plogging’ is a Swedish word for picking up rubbish while jogging or exercising, and in 2021 we embraced the term as a COVID-safe offering that was a fun way to keep fit and promote sustainability. Volunteers can plog at a time that suits them, track distance covered, rubbish collected, and even raise vital funds to support Clean Up Australia. 



Many businesses saw plogging as a great way to create virtual teams when they were unable to bring their employees together.

The benefits of getting out in the open air and walking are well documented. It makes you feel good, more energetic, mentally alert and physically fitter. Even better if you walk with a friend or friends. Better again if you have an added purpose and adopt a street to keep it neat!

Get Fitter With Litter is a healthy, fun way volunteers can do their bit towards reducing the problem of litter in their own neighbourhood. So when walking their dog, on their way to the shops, taking the little ones to school or socialising with friends, they take a bag and pick up litter as they go.
