Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden (瑞典). What is p logging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term "plogging" is created by combining the English word "jogging "and" plocka upp, a Swedish term that means "picking up".
A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement After moving from a Swedish ski resort to Stockholm, Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, and thus "plogging" was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.
Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. There's no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your heath (蹲下) or bending (弯曲) your body. According to a research, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.
Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer（消毒纸巾）, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you're not much of a jogger, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!
