Clean up around your home and neighborhood.
Go to a park and pick up cigarette butts and other litter you find.

Hillsborough Township Clean Communities wants to thank all the volunteers who participated in the Plogging event held on Saturday, June 12th.

For those of you who are still unsure of what Plogging is, it is a movement that started in Sweden that is a combination of picking up [plog] litter and jogging [jog]. This fitness craze has spread throughout Europe and is now a popular activity in the US. Plogging is a great way to help the environment while improving your own health. In fact, plogging burns about 22% more calories than jogging alone. Residents are encouraged to form their own plogging group to keep the movement going. So, grab your running shoes, a trash bag and a pair of gloves and head out into your neighborhood, or anywhere you like to jog, walk or exercise.

Most of the plogging activities centered around the Triangle Rd and surrounding areas. Some of the items found during the event were food wrappers/containers, ice pop wrappers, coffee cups, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, mini liquor bottles, newspaper/shredded cardboard, discarded face masks and PPE and cigarette butts. Clean Communities would like to remind residents to dispose of trash responsibility and practice carry in, carry out procedures at parks and sporting events.

Groups are forming around many cities and towns in the US. Plogging is a great way to help the environment and it burns about 22% more calories than running alone! If you would like to become a part of this growing trend to not only help the environment but also improve your health, grab your running shoes, a trash bag and a pair of gloves and start your own plogging group.
