As a housewife, joining Pune Ploggers two years ago has been transformative. While managing household responsibilities, contributing to the city's cleanliness has been a fulfilling endeavor. It's shown me the power of balancing home and community service. Working alongside dedicated volunteers, I've found a sense of purpose beyond my role as a homemaker. It's a testament that anyone, regardless of their daily responsibilities, can make a positive impact on our environment and community. Thank you, Pune Ploggers, for this meaningful opportunity.

I'm a 10-year-old, and for the last two years, I've been part of Pune Ploggers mission to clean and green our city. It's been an incredible journey, planting trees and cleaning up our streets. I've learned so much about the environment, teamwork, and the joy of giving back. Being a young volunteer has made me feel proud and responsible. I hope to continue making Pune cleaner and greener with this amazing NGO. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Frequently asked questions​

Plogging is a fitness activity that combines jogging with picking up litter. The word is a mix of “jogging” and the Swedish phrase “plocka upp,” which means “pick up.” The concept originated in Sweden around 2016 and has since become popular worldwide.

Pune Ploggers was founded in 2019. The initiative was started to promote plogging as a way to combine fitness with environmental conservation. Since its inception, the group has organized numerous plogging events and has been actively involved in cleaning up various public spaces in Pune.

The Pune Ploggers group was founded by Vivek Gurav, a dedicated environmental enthusiast. The group focuses on organizing plogging events in Pune, India, to encourage people to combine physical exercise with environmental cleanup. We aim to promote a cleaner city and raise awareness about the impact of littering.

The “Chalk of Shame” is an initiative by the Pune Ploggers group aimed at addressing littering issues in a creative and impactful way. It involves using chalk to write messages or draw symbols on the pavement near littered areas, specifically targeting those who discard trash improperly.

This method serves as a visual reminder and a form of social pressure to encourage people to dispose of their waste responsibly. The chalk markings are typically temporary and are meant to raise awareness about the importance of keeping public spaces clean.

You can join Pune Ploggers by following us on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. We often post details about upcoming plogging events. You can also reach out to them directly through their social media pages or website for more information.
