Plogging to connect with nature

Ever been on a run through the streets of Doha and notice litter ruining the otherwise natural scenery? Maybe it’s plastic six-pack ring, an empty Coke bottle or a few scattered cigarette butts. Whatever it is, it’s a bummer on a few levels. Not only is it aesthetically unpleasing, it’s a reminder of how careless and inconsiderate people can be. Then there’s the bigger picture problem: the deadly effects of trash on the ecosystem. The solution to the waste epidemic requires multilevel efforts, but we can all help — even on our routine jogs by “plogging”.

Hence, Plogging is a way to connect with nature, while helping to restore it. Oh, and you'll burn some calories, too.
