Birthday Plogging/Cleanup event - by The Plastic Runner

  • Studley Boathouse Cafe Boathouse Road Kew, VIC, 3101 Australia (map)

So, you like running, and you like helping nature.
That’s why we decided to put those two things together and take some action/fun!

Hi everyone,

Is that time of the year when I am getting older, wiser, and wrinklier...so old I actually forgot to create my birthday cleanup event lol

So the idea is this:

As many of you know, the last year has been a fight against litter, organising events and collecting more than 700kgs of trash from rivers, parks, and beaches with an amazing team of volunteers.

I wanted to have a different celebration this year, and share with you what has been my mission these last couple of months. I tried to get some kayaks, but didn't work...so it will be a normal cleanup morning as usual :)

Here's how the morning will go:
08.30am Meetup at Studley Park Boathouse for cleanup event
08.45am safety and event briefing
09.00am plogging/cleanup event starts
09.45am back to meetup point to weight bags
10.00am cleanup wrap up

10.30am Breakfast at Lentil As Anything I don't know how many people will join me for breakfast, but let's see if we can get there and find some big space. I will call the people from Lentils to give a heads up.

You can either join me for both or just breakfast :) but it would be awesome to spend my birthday in a way to give back to the planet and the community (that's why I picked Lentils!)

I will provide all cleanup materials, but feel free to bring garden gloves and a bag too.
The cleanup event is inclusive 100%, everyone is welcome no matter what fitness level you have. This is a family-friendly event and Puppers are welcome too!

See you soon!
Karin
