We keep fit to keep clean!

At a time when the growing threat to the earth’s ecosystem is already leaving at its wake unprecedented humanitarian crisis across the world, it was imperative to birth an initiative capable of immersing the world with a culture that encourages a conscious and responsible interaction with the environment while simultaneously meeting desired human needs.

Sometime in 2016, Plogging was formally initiated in Sweden by Erik Ahlstrom. Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter (PLOcka up + joGGING). As an organised activity, it spread to other countries in 2018.

Mayokun Iyaomolere founded Plogging Nigeria Club in 2018 launching the organisation with a plogging episode on 2nd of June at the Obafemi Awolowo University Campus, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Since then, the organisation has gone on to establish subsidiary clubs in many Nigerian higher institution campuses and local communities actively promoting responsible waste handling and physical fitness through different activities.
