Plogging: On the Lakefront! - Pick up litter and jog 🏃💨
About the event
📣GET INTO PLOGGING! Help the environment AND get active! Join the Litter Caterpillars on Friday, Sept. 18 in picking up litter and jogging on the Lakefront Trail and Montrose Beach.
We will meet at the Lincoln Park Waveland Tennis Courts parking lot (100 W. Addison Dr., Chicago, IL 60613).
Here's what you can expect when you join a Litter Caterpillars event: • A conversation with new friends, filled with kindness and warmth • Every rule and tradition has been crafted and chosen to maximize friendship and fun • To quickly see your own impact on the neighborhood and city around you
AGENDA: 8 am: The volunteers gather at the designated meeting location
8 - 8:10: Each person introduces themselves, leads us in a stretch, and states what they are manifesting for the week
8:10 - 9:55: Partner up, get jogging and pick up trash!
Rules-- • Half of the people are on bag duty, half are on grabber duty. No one is allowed to be independent. • Every time you finish filling up a bag, change your role, and change your partner.
9:55 - 10: Reflection and the Goodbye Ceremony - We all look backwards and notice how dirty things were, and how clean things are now! We take a deep breath and feel calm and happy.
Finally, for the goodbye ceremony, we all put our left hands in the middle and chant, "You'll never feel bitter, when you're picking litter!!"
Hope to see you there!
