Plog actions organised by Green Office

Plogging, what is it?

Plogging is a growing activity born in Sweden since 2016. The word Plogging comes from "Plocka" (Swedish for picking up) and "jogging. So it combines active walking around with picking up dirt. Through this activity we rid society of a little litter and calories ;)

We use the WePlog app, which shows which streets have been recently plogged and which could use a cleanup.

How do you get started?

You can always go out yourself with a garbage bag and collect garbage but if you like to do this in company of other students or want to see how we do it, read on: 

Green office organizes several plog actions throughout the year for students where litter is collected from the streets and cleaned up. Hereby we provide the material such as gloves, garbage bags & grabbers ! The routes are also mapped out in advance.

But UA staff members can also request materials from us. 

Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte & Faculteit Sociale Wetenschappen already did so on 28/04/2023 and 4/05/2023
