Plogging – jogging and collecting waste with Audi Environmental Foundation
Plogging – Symbiosis of movement and environmental protection
The idea is to collect trash lying along the running track while jogging and then dispose of it properly at the end of the jogging session. Plogging combines active environmental protection with physical exercise and the opportunity to meet new people and to do good things together. A positive side effect: there is less waste along running tracks, roads and forest paths!
Plogging action awarded Ramadama prize
With six plogging events carried out so far and over 60 participants, including many “multiple collectors,” a great contribution to the cleanliness of Ingolstadt's paths and popular jogging routes was made together. In November 2019, for example, this campaign was awarded the 2019 Ramadama prize by Ingolstadt’s municipal authorities.
