環保專家莉齊-凱爾幫助開展了全英活動"塑料偵查",這一活動的目的是清除內陸水道的塑料污染.她說："能讓人們走進大自然,主動接觸大自然的任何活動都是件好事.公眾對于塑料垃圾的觀念有了實質改變,《藍色星球》等節目凸顯了這一危機的災難性后果,也有助于人們觀念的轉變."
"We need to keep momentum high and the pressure up, and empower people through initiatives like plogging and Plastic Patrol."
"我們需要保持勢頭高漲,讓人們感受到環保的壓力,并通過跑步撿垃圾和"塑料偵查"等活動讓大家切實參與進來."
The Plastic Patrol app allows users to map plastic anywhere in the world by collecting discarded items, photographing them and uploading to the app, giving us a better knowledge of what sorts of plastic and which brands are being thrown out. "I'd urge all ploggers to get involved," adds Carr.
應用程序"塑料偵查"能讓全球的用戶把收集的廢棄塑料標注在地圖上.用戶可以拍照上傳,讓我們更清楚地了解到哪種塑料以及何種品牌正在被扔掉.凱爾補充說："我要鼓勵所有參與跑步撿垃圾的人們參與進來."
Plogging isn't the first fitness trend to combine running with a good cause. Here are some of our favourites:
Plogging并非首個將跑步與公益事業結合起來的健身潮流.一起來看看下面這些：
Running for the elderly
為老年人跑步
Good Gym's idea is simple: go for a run, visit an elderly person, have a chat and some tea, and run back. Loneliness among the elderly is a growing problem in the UK, but with over 10,000 runs so far, Good Gym is finding a solution.
"好健身"的想法很簡單：去跑步,拜訪一位老年人,聊聊天,喝喝茶,再跑回來.老年人的孤獨問題在英國日益嚴重,但隨著超過1萬人參與這項跑步活動,"好健身"找到了解決之道.
Guide running
導盲跑
Guide runners volunteer their time to helping blind people get fit and active. By linking themselves together, the visually-impaired individual can feel safe while both work up a sweat.
導盲跑參與者自愿花時間幫助盲人健身和參與體育活動.通過互相組織起來,盲人在揮汗如雨時能充滿安全感.
Cycling for the homeless
為流浪者騎行
Start-up Stuart Delivery and the Church Housing Trust collaborated last year in bringing clothing and healthy food to the homeless. Deliveries are mostly made by bike, so those who deliver keep fit while helping rough sleepers.
去年,初創公司斯圖爾特快遞公司和房產信托教會合作,給流浪者送去衣物和健康食品.快遞物品多數由騎行者送達,所以參與者能在幫助困難流浪者的同時健身.
