A green sport
The plogging comes from Sweden where it has more and more followers. It may be that you adhere to the concept if you are a jogger and have the green fiber. If at first, the view of garbage on the public road is discouraging you, it is a good point and if in addition, you have this habit of picking them up, you are an ideal client for the plogging. Because the plogging is simply to jog while picking up and throwing the trash that is found in its path. Plogging is a portmanteau, contraction of "jogging" and "plocka upp" (which means "pick up" in Swedish). This somewhat unusual sports activity attracts more and more followers who, along the way, squat down to get as much waste as possible. Taking care of yourself while taking care of the planet is fun. In some large cities of the world, the plogging begins to make its way. Written by David
The ages of life
Most cultures traditionally identify 3 stages in existence: childhood, adulthood and old age. In the Hindu tradition, the eyes of childhood are symbolized by the frolics of Krishna among the shepherdesses; in the Christian tradition, it is the episodes of Christ's childhood that are most often represented. The tasks incumbent upon the adult are symbolized in the Christian tradition by the ministry of Christ and in Greek mythology by the legend of Theseus, who killed the Minotaur and saved the lives of the young Athenians. The wisdom attributed to the elders is incarnated in the Greeks by the god Chronos who reigned over the world during the golden age; in Christian iconography, it is God the Father who is identified with the old man with the white beard. In most Eastern traditions, youth and old age are held to have two complementary aspects - innocence and wisdom - of the same reality. Written by David
