PLOGGA was founded in Sweden in 2016 by Erik Ahlström. Today we are an association and a global movement where the activity itself is to pick up garbage while jogging. Walking, skateboarding, cycling, swimming or other things are also just as good. Plogging is a change of attitude and ploggers are proud garbage pickers who do something for our environment and their own health before it's too late.
Our vision is simple: to create a clean world. We've been stuck thinking that it's wrong to pick up other people's garbage. People have lost respect for the environment around them and continue to throw garbage around them more and more, and we see it everywhere - on our streets, the forests, and in our waterways and oceans.
Plogging is an easy solution to reverse the current negative trend and help create a long-term sustainable society. Plogging is a concrete, inclusive and positive solution to the problem; by Plogging it is no longer taboo to pick up other people's garbage!
Today there are Plogging events on all continents and more than 50 countries. On a daily basis we help start-up active Plogging groups all over the world. Like us on Facebook for continuous updates on events, information and more!
If you are a company, contact us and we will tell you more about how you can use PLOGGA for marketing purposes, team building and better environments. Become our partner!
5 Reasons to Start PLOGGING
Organize your own PLOGGA event!
Are you an individual who wants to set up their own Plogging event in your city? We can help you with everything you need, and make sure your event becomes an official Plogging event in our calendar on Facebook!
Are you a large company or small company that wants to get involved in Plogga? Become our partner or arrange a Plogging event. We can even providing an inspiring lecture for your whole company!
The long life of trash in nature
Trash thrown out in the wild survives longer than you might think. The PET bottle from which you drank cola recently out survives humans nearly 4 times! And the chewing gum you see on the ground may have been there since 1997. When we Plogga, we can see together that garbage isn't part of our ecosystem. How many decades of waste can you Plogga today?
The Cycle of Garbage
Sushi can taste great. But did you know that the fish we eat, in turn, eat the plastic that is thrown into the sea? So in the end you also eat plastic! Research suggests that microplastics can have a detrimental health effect on animals, as well as humans. Next time you're out paddling; bring a plastic bag and Plogga wherever you are!

- Alla events ska såklart avslutas på samma sätt som Utemagasinets, "Min utehelg, att de ansvariga Ploggar! Ett föredöme!
Erik Ahlström var inbjuden att fysiskt medverka under helgen 22-24 maj tillsammans med Utemagasinets redaktion och gäster kring lägerelden.
Det fungerade även väldigt bra att i dessa Corona tider hänga digitalt med Utemagasinets läsare och andra friluftintresserade. Det varvades med livestream (eget, delat och utlånat), IGTV, korta filmer och bildklipp på Instagram stories, i Instagramflödet och på Facebook.
Om du missade finns materialet kvar på Utemagasinets Instagram och verkligen värt att lyssna på alla intressanta gäster som var inbjudna.

- Why do we need more litterbins? Please bring it home. #trashcreatestrash .
.
@alitterpickaday After emailing the council about the overflowing bins at our local fields, we saw this today! They’d emptied the bins, closed them up and added the possibly? helpful sign. There was still a lot of litter around but maybe the lack of access to the bin and the sign will make people think twice about littering? We shall see! Collected 3 full bags, 1 bag I picked up had been dumped in a bush, 160 pieces in total!
I’m planning on having a target number for my litter picks and will be starting that very soon! So, watch this space. Hoping to encourage people in my local area to get involved too🙌🏼🧤♻️.
- Buy less and always bring a Plogga bag with you. #bepartofthesolution

@perbolund @karolinacyklar kan det bli förbjudet att slänga?
- BINGO. We kept a Plogga video conference from the top of the lighthouse in Kullaberg with 155 participants from the international company Hemsö. We all went out Plogging afterwards, we took out our bikes. Everything is possible with #ploggacorona @sunliving.sverige @sunliving.global #explorenewspaces #sunliving @kullamannen_trail #@kullensfyr

- Plogga Pre Tour och Plogga Corona
Ifjol genomförde vi en mycket skrämmande resa genom stora delar av vårt land. Vi kallade den Plogga on Tour, vägREN där vi uppmärksammade hur illa det var ställt på våra rastplatser och vägrenar. Skräp överall! Trots Corona hoppas vi att kunna genomföra en liknande Tour i sommar. Denna vecka är vi på en resa med vår Sunliving husbil och tar tempen på Plogga läget genom att besöka några av våra ambassadörer, ställa lite frågor och framförallt Plogga. Följ oss via våra instastories och Facebook live.
Plogga Pre Tour
Last year we made a very awful journey through large parts of our country. We called it Plogga on Tour, where we noticed how bad it was on our rest-and parking places along the roads. Rubbish everywhere! Despite Corona we hope that we can conduct and similar Tour this summer. This week we are on a trip with our Sunliving campervan, taking the Plogga temperature and visit some of our ambassadors. Follow us through our instastories and Facebook live.
