Hey neighbors!   

Out of an abundance of caution, Cleveland Plogs will not meet for our group plogging in May.  However, if there's one lesson quarantine has taught us, its that getting out in the fresh air for walks and runs is necessary for our mental and physical health.  So all this month, just add a grocery bag or bucket to pick up litter during your next walk or run around Collinwood and go solo plogging! Like Cleveland Plogs on Facebook - facebook.com/cleplogs and post a selfie of yourself solo plogging on facebook or instagram with the hashtag #cleplogsolo.  All photos will then be entered into a contest to win a $15 Six Shooter gift card! Cleveland Plogs will draw the winning selfie on May 31st.  May the best solo plogger win! 

*Please plog responsibly. Wear protective gloves when picking up litter and bring along hand sanitizer.  Please wash your hands with soap and water at least 20 seconds when you are done. If you are plogging in a more crowded area, please consider wearing a mask or form of personal protective equipment.  

Need a plogging refresher? Plogging is a fitness and litter cleanup craze from Sweden that is quickly spreading throughout the world and right here in Collinwood. Plogging involves a combination of jogging and picking up trash along your running route using a small bag to collect the litter you find along your route. Plogging is great exercise and a great opportunity to meet new people and make a positive impact on our environment and our neighborhood!  Check out - City Lab - Pick Up Trash While You Exercise.
