Project description
Combining Runners High and Helpers High systematically and interactively with community and environmental protection? This is exactly our idea behind the JUNKMILE project. In recent years, the sport of plogging, which involves jogging, hiking or walking while collecting garbage, has become very popular. So far, plogging has been characterized by unsystematic, spontaneous actionism without in-depth organization. Our aim with the university sports JUNKMILE project is to create an interactive platform that motivates plogging in various ways and structures and documents plogging.
To this end, we have set up a heat map here that documents JUNKMILE activities recorded via GPS. The older the run, the paler the color. So it's best to run where no one has been running recently to find as much garbage as possible!
If you are out and about a lot, you might make it onto one of the leaderboards.
You can also register a team and compete against other teams!
Heat map
Where can I upload an activity?
Can I also upload activities where I have not collected any garbage?
The map does not update even though I have uploaded a run?
The map is created manually every 1-2 days. It can therefore take up to 2 days for your run to appear on the map and for you or your team to appear on the leaderboard. If nothing has happened after 2 days, it may be because you need to clear your browser cache so that the map is completely reloaded.
I would like to register a new team, but don't know how to do it?
To register a new team, please send an email to junkmileproject∂gmail.com stating the team name. The team name will then be checked and activated as quickly as possible. This process can take up to 3 days.
