Plogging is the act of picking up trash while jogging, and is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to take environmental action in your own neighborhood. And it’s gaining momentum across the endurance sports world.

Why Plogging Works Plogging combines fitness with purpose. In less than an hour, you can:

• Clean up your neighborhood
• Raise awareness about litter and waste
• Bond with your teammates or community
• Set an example for others

Athlete, author, and environmental advocate Tina Muir has championed plogging and similar initiatives as powerful ways to engage communities in local change. When people see others protecting public spaces, it often inspires them to follow suit.

How to Organize Your Own

Hosting a plogging event is easy and rewarding. Here’s how to get started:

1. Pick a familiar route. Choose a route your club already uses—whether it’s a weekly run, ride, or walk.

2. Spread the word. Invite club members, post on social, and give it a fun theme or name to generate energy.

3. Come prepared. Bring bags, gloves, and hand sanitizer—and don’t forget to snap some group photos.

4. Share and inspire. Post with #REACHGREEN Miles and tag @REACHGREENUSA so we can amplify your impact.
