Plogging weekend 7-8 Dec 2019

Ravi from Greenlane

Hi all,
This weekend is a “Walk and Collect Weekend” also known as “Plogging Weekend”.
I came across this through Facebook and am keen to do this weekend.
This is a wonderful opportunity to help clean our surrounding and environment.
I thought some of you may be interested in doing this weekend.
There is a nice article about this on the Times online website - (www.times.co.nz...) Or on the Facebook (www.facebook.com...) .

During the weekend of the 7th & 8th December, head out for a walk and collect a bag of rubbish from your local community. You're going to feel great and collectively we're going to make a real difference!
