A little dirt, a lot of heart, and a photographer on staff to catch all the magic! 😉📸✨ And honestly, these moments deserve a close-up. Swipe through, your eyeballs deserve it! 👀🌵

This past Saturday, we got our hands dirty alongside El Cortez neighbors and amazing volunteers on Flores Dr. and 3rd Ave! 🌱 Together, we planted new GSI chicanes that will bring shade, support pollinators, and help our neighborhood grow greener.

Huge thanks to the El Cortez neighborhood, Ward 3 office, and all our fantastic volunteers for helping bring this RAINworks project to life!

There's a little community magic in every frame!

This past October 3, we gathered at the beautiful Children’s Peace Garden for a special story time celebrating imagination, community, and the wonders of the natural world ✨🦋📖

In a world that moves so quickly and often keeps us behind screens, spaces like this invite our children to slow down, look up, get curious, and reconnect with the living world around them. Because some of life’s most meaningful lessons aren’t found on a device, but in the soil beneath our feet, the stories we share, and the friendships we nurture along the way 🌎🌻

Co-founded by community advocate Beki Quintero, alongside her husband, Ric Quintero, and neighborhood children, this garden is a beautiful reminder of what can grow when a community comes together with care, creativity, and a shared vision for its youth.

May we continue creating spaces where young minds can grow, little hands can make a difference, and every child has the opportunity to discover their place in nature and their community! ✨🙌🌺

Class dismissed! 🎉 As of Sept 30, Tucson has a new group of Master Recyclers! 🎓♻️

Tucson is home to more than 548,000 people, and in 2025, nearly 687,000 tons of waste made its way to the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, that’s roughly 1,881 tons every day.

Managing waste for a growing community is no small task. It’s constantly evolving and takes all of us learning better ways to reduce, reuse, compost, recycle and responsibly dispose of what we no longer need.

That’s why Master Recyclers matter! 🌱♻️

These graduates have taken the time to learn Tucson’s waste system and the many resources available to our community. Now, they’re taking that knowledge back to their families, workplaces, neighborhoods and communities, helping answer questions and make sustainable choices a little easier.

From the evolution of the Los Reales Landfill into the Los Reales Sustainability Campus to programs supporting composting, hazardous waste collection, zero-waste efforts and recycling, Tucson’s approach to waste continues to grow and evolve.

🎉 Congratulations to our newest Master Recyclers! Thank you for learning, sharing and helping Tucson move toward a more sustainable future.

The more we know, the more we can share. And the more we share, the stronger our community becomes! 💚

Hosted by Tucson Environmental Services, Environmental Education Exchange, and Tucson Clean & Beautiful.
