Tree Tribe started in 2015 as a way to give back to the Earth and raise awareness on sustainability in the product industry (fashion, apparel, accessories). As the founder, I wanted to start a company that had a purpose to help our planet, while making a positive impact on the world. I was inspired by the "1 for 1 model" and said "Ya know what 1 for 1 is cool but I want to do 10 for 1!". That started our model of planting 10 trees on every sale.
Our Founder, Joe, met the people behind Shoshin Matcha, John and Sabrina, last year in Tulum. They chatted all things environment and a shared passion for conservation was realized. Shoshin have now partnered with one of our tree planting partners - Eden Reforestation Projects, to give back too! Read on for their inspiring story!
Yoooo have you seen our new hats yet?! --> Hats Collection. I've been a fan hats my whole life - probably since starting baseball at age 6 🧢 We've been wanting to do hats for a long time with Tree Tribe but just could't find a good combo of quality + eco materials. At Tree Tribe, we always try to create more eco friendly alternatives than what's on the market.
Hey everyone, just wanted to send some positive vibes out to the universe and wish you a happy Earth Day 🌲 Earth Day's fun, even if it's on a Monday and we're still working, it's a great time to take an hour or 2 and hit the park and chill... or put your phone on airplane mode tonight and disconnect from the digital world (I've been doing this a lot lately).

Who doesn't want to travel, right? I e-met Agnese and Michele through the wonderful world of social media and instantly felt a connection. They were living this incredible life, travelling full-time, and I wanted to know more. It's such an interesting story that I wanted to share it with you, dear Tree Tribe.
Let’s start things off with a small bit of advice. Start using your travel journal before your trip. Seriously, you’ll realise how important it is, when you are looking back at your adventures, to record even the slightest bit of planning to ensure that your trips have meaning and purpose. Before all the memories and ticket stubs begin to flood the pages of your journal, make a list of things you want to see, food you want to try, or dedicate a page to language phrases you can use on the daily.
Fresh out of university after four years studying ecology, zoology and conservation genetics, I was well and truly ready for an adventure. I wanted to book a plane ticket, pack my bags and head out the door as soon as possible. But two things were stopping me. Firstly, money. Spending four years studying doesn’t mean you’re exactly raking in the cash. Secondly, when I got back and started looking for jobs, what would an employer think of a recent lengthy, self-indulgent holiday? Then a solution came to me: Why not combine some adventurous traveling with work experience?
How can you buy the sparkle of water? In THE POWER OF MYTH by Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers (1988), Campbell states that “Chief Seattle was one of the last spokesmen of the Paleolithic moral order. In about 1852, the United States Government inquired about buying the tribal lands for the arriving people of the United States.” “The President in Washington sends word he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?” - Chief Seattle
