HEILOO – The Grote Van Dale does not yet have it: ‘plogging’. “We first heard it from a forest ranger when we were cleaning up rubbish in the dunes near Bergen aan Zee. We understood that it is a Swedish word, which means jogging to clean up rubbish. It does sound quite active”, says Fred Valkering.

On Monday he had been plogging again with Lioba de Geus and Peter Boers, as they do every Monday, after singing with the group of the climate alarm. What you call a day of commitment to society. “Sometimes our group is a bit bigger, we would like to welcome more ploggers, because there really is a lot to do. We get so many nice comments when people see us working, especially from young people. It is simply unbelievable how much rubbish you collect, today again a lot of cigarette butts on the street. We collect those separately, just like the plastic. We reuse items that are still somewhat usable for the ‘plogart’ of Lioba and others.”
