摘要
还在寻找一个有趣的地球日活动吗?你可以尝试一下“plogging”,也就是慢跑的时候捡垃圾。这听起来可能有些奇怪,但这项新的“运动”在全世界的跑步者中变得非常受欢迎,许多人在社交媒体上发布了自己和朋友拿着垃圾袋的照片。plogging 一词来源于英文单词“ jogging”和瑞典语“plocka upp”,是埃里克·奥尔斯特罗姆的创意。2016 年,奥尔斯特罗姆从瑞典北部的一个小滑雪社区搬到斯德哥尔摩后,每天骑车上班路上的垃圾越来越多,让他感到不安。
Looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. Odd as it may sound, the new “sport”is becoming extremely popular with runners worldwide, many of whom are posting images of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.Derived1 from the word jogging and“plocka upp”, the Swedish phrase for pick up, plogging is the brainchild2 of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, after moving to Stockholm from a small ski community in northern Sweden, Alstrom became increasingly agitated3 at the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work.
