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?”

With both the zero waste movement and self care taking off recently, it's no surprise that they share a following, or that in this time where people are changing the way they treat both the planet and themselves that they've gained popularity so quickly.
Plastic Free July is a social movement to challenge ourselves to be more environmentally responsible by cutting out single use plastic.
It's a fun exercise to bring awareness at how much single use plastic we use every day, and think about where it goes.
You'll find yourself being more mindful and creative in your daily life
We're all about helping the planet, and using reusable water bottles and reducing plastic is part of that mission. Here are some key reasons why using a reusable water bottle is great for you and the environment:
Getting out in nature provides a wonderful escape from stress, anxiety and negative thoughts. It has been long thought that frolicking in the ocean has even more health benefits; historically doctors would recommend their patients go to the seaside to improve their various illnesses.
At Tree Tribe, we can’t get enough of the ocean, and check out the evidence to support it:
Do you commute to the gym to workout?
Have you ever considered what you’re missing out on by not exercising outdoors and in nature?
Do you love that feeling you get during and after doing outdoor activities?
We’re sure you've heard about "going green" and "living sustainably," but why exactly is it so important?
