- Year of past OR future Camino
- Many, various, and continuing.
You can't keep a Ditch Pig down, not even in a world put on hold by a pandemic!
We won't have the usual Ditch Pigs Camino Cleanup crew this year, as most of our volunteers are locked down or face quarantines on their return home... and large swaths of the Camino are off-limits as well. BUT... We've decided to EXPAND WORLDWIDE. So you too can be a Ditch Pig this November, right where you are!
The plan is thus: The Pigs usually cover 20-25 kilometers of trail each day, for four or five days of November.. which translates to about 5 km of trash per day per person. We challenge every Forum member to put on some garden gloves and your mask, pick up a trash bag and salad tongs, and head out into the fresh air of your favorite park, trail, or track... and pick up all the trash you can! Take it to an appropriate bin, and Voila! Cover 5 km. per day for four or five days... and you're a Ditch Pig of the 2020 kind. (if you can't do quite so much we understand.)
When you've done your part, post a picture of yourself in action here on the thread, along with your location, so we can celebrate your work. (we enjoy good before & afters, too!) The Camino is wherever you are, and there's plenty enough trash out there for us all. What an opportunity! (We already have 2020 Pigs working in Williamsburg, Virginia, and elsewhere... and if enough of us Spain residents can and are willing, we still can do a strip of Camino de Madrid this year -- get in touch!)
