STOCKHOLM - The Swedish phenomenon of 'plogging', where joggers combine their run with picking up the trash they find in nature, is going global as both environment and fitness fanatics benefit from the new trend.
“In Swedish ‘plocka’ is pick, and then jog of course. It’s a combination word, it’s two words put together - pick and jog,” Ahlstrom explained as he handed out trash bags to over two dozen trail runners who were joining him for the evening. The ploggers quickly left the pathway and disappeared into the bushes and trees to spend their evening collecting plastic and paper that they would later dispose of in a trash can near their starting point.
