Back in 2009, when Emergent Structures first started and before we became a 501c3 non-profit organization, we called our effort the Emergent Structures Project–ESP for short. A few months after we started, the below tag showed up on E. 34th Street, along the back property line of Southern Pine Company.

We still have no idea who did it, but we figured that since our idea was to create community-driven innovations, that someone in the neighborhood was voicing their support for the idea of construction and demolition waste being diverted directly into community wealth through collaborative community effort.

That was in 2009. Fast forward to today, when that same tag remains, and it’s less than 30 feet away from the construction of the E.34 Greenhouse.

Someone called: we answered!
