overview

Plogging is an activity that involves picking up litter and jogging. Invented in Sweden as plogga, it is a great way to get active and take climate action. There are lots of plogging groups across the UK, including our own Planet Earth Games groups who meet in Bristol, Exeter and Wembley every third Sunday at 10am.

Find one and join in. Or simply get your running kit on and with some litter picking equipment (you can often borrow from your local council), hit the streets and start plogging!
