2018健身新風潮：邊跑步邊撿塑料垃圾
Is 'plogging' the most 2018 fitness trend yet?
They brought us hygge, lagom and fika, but now a new Scandinavian trend is coming, and it couldn't be more 2018.
前有hygge、lagom和fika,如今北歐掀起的新風潮又迎面而來,這最有2018年的范兒了.
hygge：全世界對丹麥生活方式的一種狂熱追求,這一概念大致是指舒適和滿足的感覺,沉迷于生活中美好的人和事當中.
lagom：剛剛好就是最好.
fika：來杯咖啡,休息一下.
Hailing from Sweden, 'plogging' is a fitness craze that sees participants pick up plastic litter while jogging - adding a virtuous, environmentally driven element to the sport.
健身風潮plogging源于瑞典,指的是人們在慢跑時撿拾塑料垃圾,給這項體育活動增添了善行和環保情懷.
Plogging appears to have started around 2016, but is now going global, due to increasing awareness and fear over plastic levels in the ocean.
Plogging出現于大約2016年,由于人們對海洋中塑料垃圾的關注和擔憂不斷升級,現在已經風靡全球.
The appeal of plogging is its simplicity (all you need is running gear and a bin bag), and the feeling of getting fit while supporting a good cause. By adding regular squats (to pick up junk) and carrying weight to jogging, we can assume the health benefits are increased.
Plogging的吸引人之處在于其簡單易行（你需要的只是跑步裝備和一個垃圾袋）,還能讓人在支持環保事業的同時鍛煉身體.通過跑步時經常下蹲（撿垃圾）和負重,鍛煉身體的效果也得到了增強.
Running and good causes have always gone hand in hand - just think of all the fundraising marathon runners do. But there couldn't be a more on-trend way of keeping fit than plogging.
跑步和公益活動常常緊密相關,想想那些為了慈善募捐跑馬拉松的人就知道了.但沒有比plogging更潮的流行健身趨勢了.
"Anything that's getting people out in nature and connecting positively with their environment is a good thing," says Lizzie Carr, an environmentalist who helped set up Plastic Patrol, a nationwide campaign to rid our inland waterways of plastic pollution. "There's been a real shift in the public mindset around plastics, helped by things like Blue Planet highlighting how catastrophic the crisis is," she says.
