Plogging

Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter, merging the Swedish verbs plocka upp (pick up) and jogga (jog) gives the new Swedish verb plogga, from which the word plogging derives.^[1] It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution. As a workout, it provides variation in body movements by adding bending, squatting and stretching to the main action of running, hiking, or walking.^[2]^[3]^[4] An estimated 2,000,000 people plog daily in 100 countries and some plogging events have attracted over 3,000,000 participants.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Similar to plogging, pliking is a combination of picking up litter with hiking and/or biking.^[8]^[9]
