Want to get involved with our "no plastic please" campaign? Pittsburgh Ploggers is a local organization committed to keeping our community and its citizens healthy! Run, walk, or jog your way to a cleaner neighborhood. What is plogging? Plogging is an environmentally friendly fitness trend originating in Scandinavia. The idea is simply to pick up litter while you’re out running or walking. While they love to organize group plogs, these are being postponed due to COVID-19. However, you can participate in scheduled plogs on your own or with a group of friends/family! Send them a photo if you participate and they’ll share it to social media. Take your participation up a notch by logging your litter with the Litterati app. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram for more info!
