New York City’s streets are getting a major cleanup thanks to “plogging,” a new fitness trend that combines jogging with picking up trash. This eco-friendly movement is quickly becoming the hottest way for New Yorkers to get in shape while also making a positive impact on their city.
According to the NY Post, plogging, a term derived from the Swedish phrase “plocka upp” which means “pick up,” has been gaining traction globally, and it’s certainly found a vibrant home here. Instead of just hitting the pavement for a standard run, participants are now lacing up their sneakers, grabbing a bag and gloves, and actively cleaning up litter as they go. It’s truly a win-win situation for both the environment and your personal fitness goals.
