Are you concerned about taking care of the environment, but also maintaining your health?
In collaboration with Gjensidige and the Norwegian Athletics Association, which has developed the app Plogger, we now want to help get people active at the same time as they pick up rubbish!
By downloading the app, you can measure how much rubbish you pick up and how far you run or walk.
Did you know…
… 80% of the litter in the sea comes from land.
… Over 2 tonnes of rubbish ends up in the streets of Oslo - every day! (Geo-specific)
… It takes 20-25 years to break down a single chewing gum?
… Nature spends about 450 (!) Years breaking down an ordinary empty bottle.
… Other plowers say that being both active and environmentally conscious gives a fantastic feeling.
What is plugging?
Plogging is an activity that involves picking up rubbish while jogging, walking, cycling or exercising in another way. For those of us who live in a society where both consumption and littering increase all the time, it is important to initiate measures to prevent the waste from ending up in nature and the sea.
You need this to plow:
- The Plogger app. Download it in the App Store or Google Play
- Plastic gloves, garden gloves, work gloves or similar
- Bags to have the waste in
