"Plogging" (no, there isn’t a typo) is the exercise of picking up strewn garbage while jogging. What began as an environmentally conscious marathon-training method has become an international trend and a US movement among urban and suburban runners. Plogging—not to be confused with "trashercize," the concept of picking up trash while walking—was born in Sweden as a portmanteau of "jogging" and "plocka upp," Swedish for "pick up." According to Keep America Beautiful, there are millions of ploggers worldwide, and even a plogging app. |
