Did You Know ?
Plogging burns more calories than the usual jogging; it has been measured as burning 288 calories an hour whereas just jogging burns a lesser 235 calories an hour.
Be sure to share innovative ways to collect and carry litter while plogging; the more people who can be encouraged to go plogging, the better!
If you have space restrictions and need to make a choice about what to collect while plogging, choose plastic over paper as it won’t biodegrade and presents an enormous hazard to local birds and wildlife, as well as to water bodies and the ocean.
Examples of litter you can collect while plogging include plastic drink bottles, drink lids, straws, plastic bottles, packages, cartons, can tabs, rope, old pipes, bits of plastic, cardboard, discarded clothing and shoes, etc.
Caution:
Do not collect litter that is potentially hazardous unless you have the appropriate equipment and clothing. For example, needles (assume they are used) are potentially hazardous if not picked up properly and with great care. Other potentially hazardous items include leaking batteries, flaking paint (it may contain lead), exposed electronics, and broken light bulbs. If in doubt, do not pick up the item but make a note that it needs collecting and either return with the right collection gear or get the appropriate authorities to collect it.
Dispose of all collected items appropriately, according to your city’s regulations and expectations.
Take care where you put your hands. If you cannot see clearly, reconsider collecting the item as sharp points, broken glass or biting animals might be lurking in what you cannot see. Even with gloves on, accidents can happen.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL THE COVID PROTOCOLS AS ISSUED BY THE LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES.
