Hello from Shanghai's AnKoRau Fest!

03/25/2022

Time flies and here we are, 1461 days old.
(yes, we counted!)

To celebrate, we initiated a 4-day campaign called 4R:

4R stands for our 4 years running for trash,
and something more:
our sustainability journey from Reduce to Reuse, Recycle and Redefine！

Let this birthday be a time to connect with each other:
a community made from friendships that last over time and distance, connected by waste😉, and running😍, and the values we share.♻️

2021 was filled with running & trash in 16 cities over 600 events.. and most importantly, people, with more than 3400 runners joining us.

Thank you, trashrunners! See you on the next run!

It's that time of the year again... LINE4THON!!!

The world uses up to 5 trillion plastic bags every year. Only 9% of the 9 billion tons of plastic products can be recycled, with most of the rest polluting our natural environment.

So, we decided to take the initiative and bring a Trash Running-kind of event to you:

on September 12, in 3 continents and 25 cities, a group of people will run for trash together and challenge themselves to pick up 1000 kg of garbage. We aim to change our behavior and our cities for the better, shine light on sports and environmental protection.

What does this mean?
- no single-use plastic (cups, bags, bottles)
- no T-shirts
- medal made from 100% recycled materials
- pick up trash along the way
- virtual challenge

We aim to empower people to manage not only their fitness, but also be aware of, learn, and care about the health of our environment.

Join LINE4THON and be part of the movement of small actions for change!

stay tuned... coming soon... Budapest LINE4THON😁😎

A colorful group with bright smiles and tongs in hand, ready to spend a sunny Saturday morning picking up trash and celebrate the World Environment Day in the best way we know: trashrunning.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on 5 June and is the United Nations' principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment.

“This is our moment.
We cannot turn back time.

But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens, change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts.

We are the generation that can make peace with nature.

Let’s get active, not anxious.
Let’s be bold, not timid.”

.....aaaand it started! the 2021 Earth Day cigarette butt challenge🌎

at this week’s trashruns we will only pick up cigarette butts, to raise awareness of the serious harm and pollution they cause to the environment, and to our health.

If I asked you, what is the most common form of plastic pollution, what would you say? Plastic bottles? Straws?

Tiny as they are, butts are pretty deadly, too.

Cigarette butts are, in fact, the most abundant form of plastic waste in the world, with about 4.5 trillion individual butts polluting our global environment.

On top of that, they are made of cellulose acetate, a man-made plastic material, and contain hundreds of toxic chemicals.

While cigarette filters, or the plastic part of butts, can take up to 10 years to completely degrade, the chemicals they release can remain in the environment for many more years beyond the life of the cigarette butt itself.

keep an eye on posts and updates this week, and join the initiative in your hometown! we are better together🍃🏃😀
