PLOGGING = Pick up Litter and Jogging
- Since 2021-
PLOGGING SANTA MONICA
WHAT IS PLOGGING?
PLOGGING is an eco-friendly mashup of fun, exercise, cleaning up our streets and beaches, and making new friends.
We also do PLALKING (Pick up litter while walking) and PLIKING (Pick up litter while hiking)!
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
PLOGGING started as an activity in Sweden in 2016 and has since spread around the globe.
WHY PLOG WITH US?
By PLOGGING and PLALKING, we can clean up our streets and prevent our oceans from being filled with plastic and garbage. With a high homeless population due largely to LA's affordable housing crisis, Santa Monica has seen a rise in trash and vandalism in our parks, streets, and beaches.
