"Plogging" is a Swedish term for the simple act of picking up litter while you run, hike, or walk in your community. It started spreading to other countries around the world in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution. Teams of five can earn up to 2,500 points during the YP4H challenge which runs from August 1 – 28. There will also be opportunities to earn $25 PulseCash during weekly engagement activities and $10 PulseCash at challenge conclusion. Pre-registration opens July 25.
