Abstract

Plogging, a combination of running and picking up trash, is a practical activity that contributes to personal and planetary care, aligning with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The benefits of plogging include improving physical and mental health, promoting environmental awareness, and fostering community cohesion. In an educational context, plogging can be integrated into physical education classes as a valuable tool for education for sustainable development (ESD). Despite the limited previous literature, plogging presents fundamentals to grow and become a key component of action towards sustainability. Therefore, in this chapter, the authors analyze the virtues that this physical exercise practice has as an effective tool of the ESD that inspires transformative action towards achieving the SDGs and creating a more sustainable future among young people.
