Every once in a while I see something online that not only makes me laugh, but also leaves me feeling kind of inspired.
Even a little hopeful.
This week I learned about plogging.
Nope, not a typo.
Plogging — a made-up word that combines the act of picking or "plucking" up litter while jogging — is growing in popularity.
Search #plogging on social media and you’ll see photos of smiling people from around the world — often sweaty and wearing gym clothes — next to bags of garbage.
How does one join the plogging movement?
It’s simple.
Just bring a bag with you on your next jog — or, if you’re like me, your next walk —and see how many beer cans, chip wrappers, cigarette buts and coffee cups you can collect.
It’s incredible how many people are still dropping litter.
So I hope we Bowen Islanders can hop on this Swedish-born fitness trend and start plogging.
And if you do go for a plog, send me your photo and tell me about it.
It all helps right?
