Plogging is the activity of picking up litter while jogging. It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 (the first part of the name deriving from the Swedish verb , to pick up) 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. An estimated 2,000,000 people plog daily in 100 countries and some plogging events have attracted over 3,000,000 participants.
