Plogging first appeared in Sweden in 2016. Translated, this means a combination of two concepts: jogging - "jogging" and plockaupp - "cleaning". For several years, the eco-movement has conquered most European countries and has come to Kazakhstan.

At the initiative of the youth in Kazakhstan, the EcoStudentKZ project was launched, which takes place in the format of eco-plogging. The goal of the project is to form environmental awareness among the younger generation, a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and, of course, an example of the fact that you can combine taking care of your own health and also taking care of nature.

Plogging is based on fitness, and not just running. Before going out for a run, ploggers take garbage bags with them. As a rule, they have a certain route, running along which they collect garbage in prepared bags. At the same time, in the process of collecting garbage, ploggers perform exercises that they do in a fitness room: jogging, squats, bends, lunges, stretching. So, running past the next bag or plastic bottle, the plogger stops, bends over, picks up the garbage and puts it in the bag.

D. Serikbayev EKTU actively supports and promotes environmental initiatives in the region.

Dear readers, let the #Ecostudentkz challenge not be a one-time action, but form a new trend not only among the youth, but among all residents of the city.
