Earth Day - Virtual Plogga Run/Walk
The Greenest Way to Run!

In honor of Earth Day 2020, the USAG Ansbach Sports and Fitness program would like to host a garrison-wide Virtual Plogga Fun Run/Walk!
"Plogga" or "Plogging" comes from the combination of two Swedish words: plocka upp, meaning "to pick up" and the word "jogging". And running and picking up trash is what Plogga is all about! It might not be your litter, but it is your planet.
Plogga is not just about running and picking up trash; it's about creating a reflex of seeing a piece of trash, picking it up and disposing of it correctly. We want to teach two things: 1. Don't litter and 2. Pick up trash when you see some.
Come join the movement and be part of the sollution, not the pollution! Invite friends and family members to help build a new generation of environmentalist activist.

Registration Information
The distance is at your discretion and the activity only needs to last 30 minutes. You'll need the following items:
- Rubber gloves to safely pick up all the trash you find and protect yourself from dirty or hazardous objects
- A plastic bag (preferably) made of either recycled plastic or a reusable bag that can become your official Plogga bag
After your run/walk, you can post a picture of all the trash you picked-up on the Katterbach Fitness Center Facebook page under the "Earth Day - Virtual Plogga Run/Walk" Event and use hashtags such as #plogga, #plogging and #nolitter.
The participant who accumulates the most trash will win a prize! Be part of the solution and start plogging! Have fun and be safe, ploggers!
