Arriving all the way from Sweden, plogging is a combination of jogging and picking up trash. In fact, the word “plogging” is a compound of the word “jogging” with the verb “plocka upp,” which is Swedish for “picking up.”

But plogging has come to include various physical activities other than just jogging! When you plog, you get to pick up waste and help the environment while running, walking, and hiking, with the addition of stretching, bending and even squatting. It’s all very flexible (no pun intended.)

After starting in Sweden in 2016, which is really not that long ago, plogging became popular in other countries as well. People around the world started to understand the great potential in combining exercise with eco-friendly activity. Today, around two million people in 100 countries plog every day! 

If you want to give it a try, you can either look for an organization or a Plogging group in your area, or simply start one yourselves. It’s a true win-win situation for everyone.

Make Your Commute Your Workout

Vehicles produce 1/3 of American pollution and the average commute to work is around 15 miles each way, so why not bike to and from work? If 15 miles each way is too much for you, you can combine it with public transportation or try to do it once a week.

Walk, Run, or Bike to the Gym

Most people live pretty close to the gym and it’s always an option to ditch your car and walk there. Plus, you’ll get a great pre-workout!

Skip the Gym

Gym equipment runs on electricity and to save energy, you could work out at home or at the park. You’ll get a great bodyweight workout in the process and you can reconnect with nature.

Reuse or Reduce

Always use a reusable water bottle and as few towels as possible. Also, when you wash your clothes make sure you have a full load and try to use an energy-efficient dryer or hang-dry your clothes.

Shorter Showers

Cut down on your water usage while at the gym or at home and try and bring your own grooming supplies from home to cut down on plastic.
