Passage 1
For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What
may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are
doing something about it. They are plogging!
“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word
“plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run
slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World
Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small
community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work.
Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to
work, he took matters into his own hands.
Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people
who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for
example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D. C. He often picks up trash while
running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash
without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal
ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage
lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can
grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it
gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the
1
neighborhood,” he announced.
Today, logging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular.
Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would
think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers. . .
seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just
think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not
be a need for plogging. ” said an interviewee.
