"Plogging," born in Sweden from "plocka upp" (pick up) and "jogga" (jog), invigorates the body while championing responsibility. Embracing the eco-conscious trend of plogging, we fuse jogging with environmental stewardship.

With companionship from Dist 7 Youth Union, Saigon Xanh and An Nam Gourmet, RMIT Plogging - Walking & Waste Pick-up expects 200 participants to be part of a 3 km walkathon on Nguyen Luong Bang Street, Phu My ward, District 7 while picking up plastic waste together.

The goal is to engage the community to raise awareness of environmental conservation, as well as awareness of the harmful effects of plastic and support for plastic recycling. All collected waste will be classified, of which clean plastic will be recycled, and the rest will be sent to the landfill.
