The next time you run or walk outside, take along a garbage bag and help clean up the planet.

Eco-running is a concept championed by Samuel Huber, an elementary school gym teacher and endurance runner in Milwaukee. He was so bothered by liter on his daily runs, he started to pick it up. Samuel, 26, then created a blog about it and the movement spread.

Samuel says:

“I remove all of that ‘me’ time and turn it into a positive impact for others and our earth. Eco-running is a volunteer effort where you are stepping outside of yourself and serving the greater good.”

Samuel estimates he has picked up close to 1,000 bags of trash so far. The next time you leave to walk, run, kayak, hike, or even golf, grab a trash bag and take someone else’s trash home with you.

“The environment makes running enjoyable. I want to clean it up. What better time to do this than while we’re on the move?”
