Münster goes “plogging” at local lake

Plogging is nothing more than picking up waste while jogging – the good feeling of doing something for your own health, combined with the good feeling of doing something for the environment and improving quality of life in Münster. The third plogging campaign will take place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The meeting point is the Sentruper Höhe sports facility. You are very welcome to take part. However, prior registration is required, as there is a participant limit and the equipment for collecting waste must also be planned.

This evening, the “walking garbage collectors” want to focus primarily on Münster’s Aasee lake, as it is always a worthwhile destination for tourists. “We are ashamed that, despite all the options for disposing of waste, waste is simply thrown carelessly into nature,” says Michael Brinkmann, chairman of Münster-Marathon e.V. “With this campaign, we want to send a signal that we recognize the work of our awm, but also promote that everyone disposes of their own waste in order to protect nature.”

Registrations for runners to take part this evening are welcome at info@volksbank-muenster-marathon.de. During the two-hour waste collection campaign, the route lengths and paths will be determined in advance so that anyone who is interested can take part. The awm will provide the equipment for collecting waste, such as disposable gloves, garbage bags, etc. They will also take care of the proper recycling and disposal of the collected waste.

Münster Marathon and awm hope for good participation and for everyone to be aware of protecting the environment by making their own contribution.
