Ce Tempoxcalli is a non profit organization working toward the cultural development of the Latino community. Ce Tempoxcalli formed out of the work of Danza Mexcia Cuauhtemoc in 2002. This project combined a grassroots effort to increase Latino participation in waste and toxicity reduction with cultural celebrations that honor the environment. Twenty-six Latino youth were trained to become community educators. They helped complete direct, bilingual outreach door-to-door with 4,000 Latino households in Phillips and Powderhorn neighborhoods. Seventy-five people signed commitment cards to reduce waste. The project had a presence at community events, information was presented to over 130 youth at area schools, the organization formed partnerships with other environmental and minority organizations, and held the first annual Chalchiutlicue Environmental Conference with 55 people attending.

In 2007-08, the Chalchiutlicue Project through Ce Tempoxcalli used their culture-based approach to train 40 indigenous Latino youth about waste and toxicity reduction. These youth became leaders in their community and reached out to at least ten families, community members, or co-workers, reaching 240 households. Additionally, staff provided education about waste and toxicity issues to over 1,800 individuals through 20 community events and to 25 other partnering organizations. 300 of the people reached at events committed to making a change and created an eco friendly flag reminder to hang in their homes.  After follow up surveys, it is estimated that participating families reduced their waste on average by ten pounds with a total of 2,600 pounds of waste reduced.
