“After three editions of the individual plogging world championship which proved to be a success from all points of view, we have decided to expand the range of initiatives with team championships –comment Roberto Cavallo, race director –. This is because team sport unites and collaborating to leave a piece of the world better than how you found it is even more significant and then together you can immediately separate the waste collected. Why the first edition in Asti? Because it is one of the most active cities in Italy in promoting plogging and was among the first to create a specific association dedicated to plogging”
