UNITED STAR OF EUROPE: THE NETHERLANDS / NIEDERLANDE

Bob the Labradoodle loves to go for walks. All dogs do. But Bob is a special dog, he is a Plogdog. What is a Plogdog you may ask?! Plogging is running and picking up litter on your way. Humans do that. But Bob also picks up cans, plastic bottles, great smelling plastic packages and much more. So he is a Plogdog.

His dogmom thinks Bob is very special in this way. Bob the Plogdog and his mom Lady B(oss) are on Instagram. We pick up litter on our daily walks and report our findings on social media. We hope to inspire more people and dogs to pick up litter. So we can prevent animals from getting stuck in the litter or eating plastics. And we hopefully prevent litter from going down stormdrains where it might end up in the sea. Bob loves picking up great smelling cans and he actually wants to play with the things he finds. We trade his finds with dogtreats. So he loves to pick up everything. When we come home we recycle what is possible so the litter ends up where it belongs.

Still we hope people will use less plastic because it’s not good for our planet, our animals and humans! Plastic is found everywhere. Bob and Lady B ask you to reduce your plastic use so we all can enjoy our earth a bit longer.

Hi, my name is Paul Waye and I am the self titled... "hardest working plogger in the world". I seem to spend all my time living up to that label. Haha. It all started back in Sept 2011 when I made my first...   mehr
