- Thank you guys so much for coming out to the beach,
are you excited to go plogging today?
- [Selorm and Lillian] Yeah!
- What is plogging?
- Plogging is a combination of jogging,
and picking up litter.
It's a Swedish fitness trend, that started about
a year and a half ago.
I've been plogging for years, before it had a name.
Because I jog on the beach,
and was so disturbed by the amount of trash.
You're gonna be tempted to pick up all the trash
on the beach, there's a lot of it,
but then it's no longer plogging if you're not moving.
(lively music)
- Straw, save the turtles.
- How are you guys doing?
- Good! - Jogging on the beach
is not like regular jogging, can I just say that,
you're sinking.
- It's hard, but I don't have sand in my shoes
which I'm happy about.
- Do not touch a bottle that has a liquid
that is not native to said bottle.
- [Dru] Cool, you're stretching while jogging.
- Yeah, it's like a little break.
- So much trash.
Ugh, trash.
- Straw.
- Um, straw.
- Straw. - Straw!
- Straw.
Straw. - There are a lot of straws,
oh my gosh.
- It's heavy, I'm like jogging with weight with me now.
It's a workout, it's really a workout.
- I mean we haven't even been here that long
and there's just so much trash to pick up,
you forget you're supposed to be jogging sometimes.
(Lillian laughs)
- Alrighty, let's count our trash.
- Let's do it.
- Are we counting all the straws eventually, jeez.
- Yes, let's count our straws.
I had fun picking up the straws.
- First amount.
I'm losing count, there's too many.
- I know right.
- I picked up about 140 pieces.
- I picked up about 95 pieces.
- I picked up over 100 pieces.
- Yay! (dolphin chirps)
High five. - Uh.
- Woo!
- Yeah.
Let's wash our hands.
- [Dru] Yes, seriously. - Yeah, let's do that.
(laughing)
- We only plogged for about a half hour
and we got so much trash.
- So much, it's crazy.
Like my bag was super heavy.
- [Selorm] I think it definitely made me think
a lot about pollution.
The beach is this fun place where we go to eat, relax,
and we don't even think about the things
we leave behind there.
- Yeah. No, it was fun.
- Yeah, I liked it.
- It was a good workout.
Go plogging, guys.
- Go plog.
- Get your workout and save the earth.
- [Selorm] Yeah, but really though,
think twice about the trash that you leave behind
because sometimes things just don't get picked up by people.
