Shincheonji Jinhae Church Conducts 7-Day Plogging Campaign, Amassing 500L of Waste

| Volunteers are collecting litter on the streets as Shincheonji Jinhae Church conducted a 'plogging' street clean-up activity near the church from March 28th to April 5th. |
The Shincheonji Jinhae Church, part of the Busan James Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, carried out a 7-day plogging campaign, helping improve the local environment around the church.
Plogging—an activity that combines jogging or walking with picking up litter—was conducted during the Naval Port Festival, a celebration that typically draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the country, leading to environmental and waste issues.
During the campaign, volunteers collected cigarette butts and everyday litter while walking through the vicinity surrounding the church, amassing a staggering 500 litres of waste.
A citizen recognised the volunteers and thanked them for the clean-up effort:
“It was troublesome because a really large amount of litter was generated near my home every day during the festival—I am grateful that you cleaned up every day, not just once, so I was able to spend the festival in a pleasant and comfortable environment”
A representative from Shincheonji Jinhae Church explained that the plogging campaign has become an opportunity not only to care for the environment but also to build natural connections with neighbours.
