Looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. Strange as it may sound, the new “sport" is becoming popular with runners worldwide? many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.

Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work. Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.

Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that official “plogging" events started all across Sweden. As plogging became popular on social media, the new “sport" began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide.

The official online “Plogga" group now includes members from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.

As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise. According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour. This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging. Additionally, the constant squatting(蹲) to pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging(费力地拖) around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.

On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or two, and go plogging. Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around your neighborhood, and make every day Earth Day!

1.Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running?

A.He wanted to clear out a path to ride his bike.

B.He was concerned about the trash on the road.

C.He was fond of exercising on his way to work.

D.He dreamed to become popular across Sweden.

2.How do school running clubs support the new “sport”？

A.They post photos of official events online.

B.They explain what plogging means on stage.

C.They compete with one another for members.

D.They hold competitions to attract people to plog.

3.Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in paragraph 5?

A.To show that plogging is of benefit to health.

B.To say that plogging is environment-friendly.

C.To offer the approaches to exercising properly.

D.To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Plogging: A Strange But New “Sport" for Runners

B.What We Should Do to Reduce the Amount of Litter

C.Running Is Really Helpful to Environmental Protection

D.Plogging: A Fun Activity for Earth Day and Every Day
