Finding win-win situations are the best. And these runners most definitely have. Welcome to the new trend called “plogging.” It is the combination of jogging or running while picking up trash along your route. The end result is the triple accomplishment of healthy exercise, cleaning the area and the satisfaction of knowing you did both! This has taken off around the world and is unifying people in their love for jogging and their passion to clean their environment and has also formed connections and friendships with people who were otherwise complete strangers. So if you are looking for yet another good reason to get outside today and take a run, become a “plogger” and your run will also become an act of kindness. Perhaps this is why the Talmud teaches that one should “run” to do a “mitzvah“, which both means “good deed” and likewise has the root of “connection”!
