    For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing rubbish all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it.  "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. He moved to Stockholm from a small community (社区) in northern Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work. He became worried about the amount of rubbish and litter he saw each day on his way to work. So, he took matters into his own hands. He began picking up the rubbish.

    Today, plogging is an official activity, which is becoming more and more popular. People of all ages are welcome to plog. Exercise while helping your community.  It can also build closer social connections in a community. When the street looks bad and it's dirty, you're going to feel bad about the community. You may even feel less safe because of that. So if we're all doing our part and picking it up, it's very easy to help beautify it, and help build those social connection.  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 just jogging. You may get a better workout. One fitness app, Lifesum, records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories.

    As can be seen, cities around the world now 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.
