Swedish habit of cleaning while jogging a boon for environment

KUALA LUMPUR: Plogging – the activity of picking up trash while exercising, which is commonly practised in Sweden – could have a positive impact on the country’s environmental sustainability if widely adopted, says Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister said plogging could also cultivate a sense of unity and appreciation for nature among the public.“We see a growing interest in recreational activities around parks, urban forests and so on.
