Walking or running outdoors, people usually see rubbish all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! "Plogging" began in Sweden. The name connects the Swedish word "plocka" which means to pick up, and the word "jogging" which means to run slowly.
A Swedish man named Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016. Each day he would ride his bike to work. He became worried about the rubbish and litter he saw on his way. So, he began picking up the rubbish. And that is how plogging was born!
Today, plogging is an official activity, which is becoming more and more popular. People of all ages are welcome to plog and have a good time. Exercise while helping your community. There are people all around the world doing this. It can also build closer connections in a community and help build those social connections. You get to know your neighbors. You get to feel some social duty when you do this.
Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging instead of jogging. You may get a better physical exercise. One fitness app, Lifesum, records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories (卡路里). And usual jogging burns about 235 calories.
Now, cities around the world hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. People would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground.
