Trash impacts a fragile ecosystem
Trash burning poisons natural resources and detrimental to our health
No landfill, No proper disposal of hazardous waste
ILLEGAL DUMPING
Illegal dumping severely threatens our environment by contaminating natural resources, encroaching on wildlife habitats, and posing a risk to public health. At C 4Ever Green, we are dedicated to combating this destructive behavior through community awareness, education, advocacy for stricter regulations, and grassroots cleanup efforts. We believe that by fostering a culture of respect for the land and promoting responsible waste management practices, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Join us in preserving our Indigenous lands.
TRASH BURNING
Burning trash has detrimental effects on natural resources. When waste is burned, harmful chemicals are released into the air, contaminating soil and water sources. This pollution can harm plant and animal life, disrupt ecosystems, and contribute to climate change. Additionally, releasing toxins from burning trash can have long-lasting impacts on human health, leading to respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and other severe health conditions. Implementing sustainable waste management practices is imperative to protect our natural resources and preserve the environment for future generations.

Let's work together to integrate this important event into your chapter’s agenda, ensuring everyone can contribute to this vital cause.
We've seen incredible results in communities like the Mexican Water Chapter and the Red Mesa Chapter, and we know that with your enthusiasm and support, we can achieve great things together!

C 4Ever Green would like to extend their gratitude to the Red Mesa Chapter staff and temporary employees for making our event a success! Your positive attitudes and willingness to help by picking up filled bags of trash along the roadside, as well as assisting elders with their trash bags into the roll-off, were greatly appreciated. Let’s do this again next year!

Our dedicated elders are invaluable role models in our community. Their commitment and willingness to participate are both inspiring and something we take great pride in. We should focus on protecting our natural resources, such as Indigenous plants, instead of simply cleaning up litter. Let’s strive to make a positive change—for them, for ourselves, and for our children.
