The practice of plogging, or picking up trash while exercising, could positively benefit Malaysia’s environmental sustainability if it is widely adopted, said Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability. “We see a growing interest in recreational activities around parks, urban forests, and so on. We also know that certain areas still face cleanliness issues,” he said. “So, if we combine both activities (exercising while picking up litter), I believe it could yield positive outcomes for environmental well-being.”
