The Swedes are from another universe. Its involvement with the environment is an example for the rest of the world. In Sweden They have always opted for renewable energies, they even created the trend of making gardens on the roofs of buildings. They are of those who more recycle (99% of the garbage), They created a shopping center for recycled products and buy garbage from other countries to transform it into energy. Amazed? Well, pay attention to the new sports practice that they have invented to help the environment.
What is logging?
El Plogging is a word invented by the citizens themselves, which is born from collapsing "jogging" and "plocka upp". This last word is of Swedish origin and means to collect. It was last summer when this new activity was invented in Stockholm and today it is adding new fans.
As you can well imagine, it is about integrating recycling into our sports time. Do you go for a run or a walk in the countryside or in the mountains? Do you want to help the planet? All you have to do is carry a garbage bag and go collecting all the waste that humanswith very little consideration have thrown in nature.
At first it may seem like a bit of a heavy idea, having to carry a bag and carry it when it's full… Ugh! But how gratifying is it to know that you are helping the very environment that provides you with oxygen to live?
Undoubtedly, we are facing a problem of education and civility. When we go to the countryside to have a barbecue or to the mountains to play sports and we throw bottles, we will be negatively influencing the development of flora and fauna. Could we do each other a favor? No one is anyone's dustbin, of course, but many people with hearts and consciences want to help.
Plogging is a worldwide practice, even in Spain there are Facebook groups who give advice on this sport. Something positive, in addition to recycling, is that we will be incorporating new movements into our training. If before we only went out to run or walk, now when we bend down we will have to do squats. In the end we came out winning doubly!
