Who We Are

K'É

Ya'ateeh. C 4Ever Green is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that calls the Utah portion of Diné Bikéyah our home. Our mission is to encourage cross-cultural practices for sustainable living, beginning with our homes. C 4Ever Green was established to bring awareness of the ongoing illegal dumping and burning of trash and how this affects our natural resources, our range land, endangering our farming areas, Indigenous food, medicinal and ceremonial plants, and our health. 

Our efforts are ongoing to uphold our mission to protect our invaluable resources and fight against cognitive dissonance. We encourage land advocacy and foster healing through our traditional understanding of Hózhó náhásdlíí’. A collective voice is more vital than a single voice.
