Plogging is an activity that originated in Sweden through which you can both exercise and clean up your environment! We host events in which you can run or walk while picking up trash along the way.

ByFusion is our partnership with the Coconino dorm to collect plastic. The material we collect is brought to the Ward 6 ByFusion rolloff to be made into construction grade building blocks that can then be used in projects around Tucson.
