We acknowledge that our work at 3025 South 48th Street in Tempe takes place on the enduring homelands of the O’odham Jeweḍ, Akimel O’odham (Upper Pima), and Hohokam peoples. Our relationship to this place is as workers in a building, but we strive to deepen that into a relationship of care. Our commitment flows from our core mission: to be responsible with the materials of this land, to keep our shared community clean, and to divert waste from the landfills that burden these watersheds. In this spirit, we pledge to respect the nature around us and to actively invite our neighbors into this work of stewardship, honoring the deep legacy of those who have cared for this desert landscape since time immemorial.
