Plogging with UQ Sustainability, UQSRC x UQGEMS

“Plogging” is the activity of jogging and picking up litter, it’s like a speedy emu walk. UQ Sustainability, UQSRC & UQGEMS will be hitting the pavement with trash bags and gloves in hand, picking up as much rubbish as we can find around UQ’s St Lucia campus.

Here are the details:

• Where: Meet at the UQ Community Garden BBQ area.
• Run route: Along the track adjacent to Sir William MacGregor Drive.
• What you need to bring: water, shoes and clothes comfortable to run in, hat/sunscreen, and your passion!
• What we'll provide: garden gloves, trash bags, hand sanitiser, food after plogging.
• Benefits: Plogging burns more calories than jogging and leads to a cleaner environment and community - what’s not to love?
• Hang around afterwards for a well earned post-plogging feed!
