Frequently Asked Questions

We are not a non-profit. We are a grass-root, working-class, community-lead organization that is entirely self funded. We work with non-profits to secure grant funding to pay for our communal space.

We work with local communities on a variety of local environmental issues in Tacoma, and the greater South Sound area. We are currently fighting to block the Mega Warehouse being built on 56th Street in Tacoma, in solidarity with the South Tacoma Neighborhood council, 350Tacoma, and the conversation253.  Likewise, we stand with La Resistencia to close the NWDC built on a superfund site.

Green washing is a tactic used by for profit groups (businesses, corporations, etc.) to make a product or service seem environmentally friendly, when in actuality it isn't. For example, when a pizza company prints large "please recycle" messages on their pizza boxes, despite the fact that oil-soiled cardboard (like a used pizza box) is not recyclable. 

We recognize that sustainability is not the sole responsibility of the individual.  We promote sustainable living for everyone by holding accountable the parties who are actually responsible: for profit corporations and their beneficiaries.
