World Cleanup Day

Clean the city while doing your daily walk

Plogging in Vienna

When: SAT, September 21, 10am – 2:30pm
Where: Neue Donau U6 Station
Entry: free

Plogging is a trend that started in Sweden when some ambitious runners decided to collect some trash while on their morning run and encouraged others to do the same. And because true heroes don’t wear capes, but rather lycra pants and ear pods, this trend quickly become popular in other European cities, including Vienna! On World Cleanup Day dozens of nations will clean up their surroundings while doing a morning walk (or run), meet up for a snack afterwords and pat themselves on the back for the great results! Join the Vienna crowd and clean up the city!

PS: Bring a garbage bag or two from home and then, while running along the proposed route, you pick up any trash you encounter (if any, this is Vienna after all *hehe* ). Important information: there will be snacks!
