why

The problem of pollution, and more specifically of the rubbish scattered around us, has several aspects:

It strongly affects ecosystems, sometimes irremediably, both flora and fauna;
It harms public health, enabling the transmission of contagious diseases;
It pollutes water, soil and even the air;
Visual and landscape impact.

Ecological
footprint

The Ecological Footprint measures the land and water required to support future generations, factoring in all resources used by a population. To shrink our footprint, let’s embrace eco-friendly practices.

Overuse of resources, excessive consumption, and high waste generation define contemporary environmental issues. We must recognize our place within the Biosphere to address this degradation

Plogging, an eco-friendly sport originating in Sweden, a leader in sustainability, blends outdoor activities like running, cycling, and walking with collecting litter from the environment.

The term “plogging” is a fusion of “jogging” and the Swedish “plocka upp,” meaning “to collect.” It was first organized as an event in 2016.

What is Plogging

Recycling helps in the conservation of resources, reducing the need to extract new raw materials
Requires less energy than the process of manufacturing new products
Plays an important role in the global economy, being one of the vectors belonging to the circular economy
Reduces the cost of cleaning up urban environments

It is one of the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse and recycle) that are part of the way to reduce the ecological footprint.

ploggit

This app is intended to help clean up our planet and also to be a tool for practising physical exercise.

It’s really an app for ages 8 to 80. We want to unite the community; young children, adults and older people.
Everyone has a fundamental role to play in preserving the planet for future generations

collect or locate

Using this app during your daily walk or morning run, you can record the litter you find or simply mark a spot for others to pick up*.

The important thing is to record the information so that other users know that someone in the community is also concerned about the common environment.

* Our intention in the future is to involve local organizations to encourage the collection of larger objects or large quantities, as well as the reporting of acts of environmental crime.

be active

Physical activity is currently playing a fundamental role in our society, bringing benefits to both physical and mental health.

So get off the sofa!

sharing behaviors

By registering an activity, inserting photos and a description of what you found and how you left the place, you are encouraging others to do the same.

We also want this tool to help you promote the activity to groups. This could be just a small group of friends, a club, an association, an organisation, etc.

We also want to encourage these group activities to be public in nature, inviting everyone in the community to take part in these initiatives.

work in progress

It is intended that this tool will continue to grow, with the addition of new features and updates.
It will be a constant effort to improve it.

The application is currently being tested in order to debug possible improvements to launch it as soon as possible.

There are still many new features in the pipeline to be released soon!
