Have you recently spotted people toting trash bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon.
Sweden's latest fitness craze — plogging — is making its way to U.S. shores. The term is a mash-up of jogging and the Swedish "plocka upp," meaning pick up. In this case, litter.
Across Europe, there are plogging groups in Scandinavia, Germany and beyond. In the United States, it's just starting to catch on among exercisers who are fed up with rubbish along their route.
"I'm not going to just let litter sit there. I'm not going to just walk past that plastic bottle," said plogger and Alexandria, Virginia, resident Emily Wright.
