For some people,walking or running outdoors is a great way to exercise.What may not be so great is seeing rubbish all over the ground.Well,some people are doing something about it. (1)EE"Plogging" began in Sweden.The name connects the Swedish word "plocka" which means to pick up,and the word "jogging" which means to run slowly.
A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstr?m,started the movement in 2016.He moved to Stockholm from a small community(社區(qū)) in northern Sweden.Each day he would ride his bike to work.He became worried about the amount of rubbish and litter he saw each day on his way to work.So,he took matters into his own hands.He began picking up the rubbish.(2)BB
Today,plogging is an official activity,which is becoming more and more popular.People of all ages are welcome to plog.Exercise while helping your community.(3)AAIt can also build closer social connections in a community.When the street looks bad and it's dirty,you're going to feel bad about the community.You may even feel less safe because of that.So if we're all doing our part and picking it up,it's very easy to help beautify it,and help build those social connection.(4)GGYou get to feel some social duty when you do this.
Along with cleaning up the environment,there may be another reason to choose plogging instead of just jogging.You may get a better workout.One fitness app,Lifesum,records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories.(5)DD
As can be seen,cities around the world now hold plogging events.The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable.People would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground.

3.There' s no place like home.It' s the place where we' re surrounded by our possessions and creature comforts.We purchase things to give our homes a personal touch.And one thing we're buying more of is houseplants.But are these "living" additions to our homes good for us and the environment?
Houseplants,also known as pot plants,add a natural touch and they have the ability to brighten up a room on a budget.The Royal Horticultural Society found that nearly 72% of adults in the UK had a houseplant in their home,with this figure rising to 80% of 16-24 year olds.A fifth of owners also said they use plants in the home to boost their health and well-being.And average sales last year were up on the previous year.
It seems millennials (千禧代) are driving the growth in the sales of houseplants.More young people are living in flats without a garden.24-year-old Daisy Hale said "being able to care for something but not having too much commitment—I guess that's a classic millennial line—is ideal for my lifestyle."
From hanging baskets,to cacti (仙人掌) and succulent ferns,the choice of vegetation is endless.They are easy to care for,and there have been unproven claims that they improve the air quality in our home.But whatever their benefits,there are now concerns that they might not be so good for the environment.Some are bought online and shipped from overseas.Fay Kenworthy,co-founder of PlantSwap,a community activity that encourages people to trade plants locally,said "this could defeat many local plants."
But botanist James Wong argues that home delivery has less of an environmental impact than multiple trips to the garden center in a car.Although he' s not too concerned about the environmental impact,others are worried about the plastic pots they are in and the type of peat (泥炭) that some of them are grown in.However,a sustainable approach to buying them may be the best way forward if we want to introduce some natural greenery into our homes.
