Sustain to Summit

Join us this Earth Day for Sustain to Summit, a one-of-a-kind event that blends sustainability, fitness, and community!

Event Schedule

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Plogging
Take part in a plogging adventure! Help keep our campus and surrounding community clean as we jog (or walk) while picking up litter. This Swedish-inspired activity combines fitness and environmental action, making a tangible impact on our local community. (The term “plogging” comes from the Swedish words plocka upp—to pick up—and jogga—to jog.) Supplies such as gloves and bags will be provided.

Explore our interactive tabling area, featuring UIC Sustainability and other organizations committed to eco-friendly practices. Learn about recycling, reducing waste, and making everyday choices that benefit the planet.
