Sustainability Spotlight: tentree–Sustainable Apparel that Plants Trees for Every Piece of Clothing

Alisha McDarris — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 14:49:59 +0000

We're all about sustainable apparel here at Terradrift. Also, comfy clothes. (Heels and dresses? What are those?) So from the first time we touched the supple softness of carbon neutral brand tentree's comfortable and sustainable apparel, we were hooked. So we connected with them to hear more about how they plant trees for every product sold, use climate-friendly materials, and recycle and re-sell clothing for the sake of circularity. So check out our Q&A with tentree to learn what the brand is all about and how every new T-shirt or pair of joggers has the potential to do good.

Turkey Itinerary: Istanbul and Cappadocia [7 Days]

Alisha McDarris — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 23:00:32 +0000

After more than 2 years of no international travel, I was nervous and more than a little excited to hop on a plane and head halfway around the world to spend a week in Turkey (now known as Türkiye thanks to a recent UN decision). I craved the culture shock and change of scenery that can only be experienced by flying to a country so far from my own, and so very different. So when I got the chance, I jumped at it. Listen, I was so excited to go I didn't think twice about leaving Josh at home. So I got myself a visa, hopped on a flight, and took off to discover this wild and wonderful place that straddles east and west, Europe and Asia. Wanna know what it was like? Maybe what you should do on your own week in Turkey? Read (or watch) on!

Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica is Gorgeous AND Sustainable [Full Guide]

The term "sustainable travel" often evokes images of low-flow shower heads, rickety beachfront shacks with no AC, yoga retreats deep in the rainforest, and a general lack of luxury amenities. Well, that, or thoughts of nothing more than reusable water bottles and reef-safe sunscreen...Fortunately, sustainable luxury is absolutely an option when traveling. And Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica knows it. I got to experience it first-hand this June, basking in sun and surf while I learned all about what the peninsula–and the accommodations and residences on it–are doing to make the world–and their little corner of it–a cleaner and more sustainable place. Read or watch to find out more about this slice of sustainable, luxury paradise.

5 Synthetic and Sustainable Coats and Jackets: Winter Coats to Keep you Warm

We love winter here at Terradrift. Maybe because we don't actually live in a part of the country with an actual winter (absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that), maybe because we're still just kids at heart and never grew out of wanting to play in the snow...who knows? But one thing's for sure: we don't enjoy being cold. Especially me. I'm a tiny human with no built-in insulation and I get real cold real fast. The solution? Giant, puffy, sustainable coats and jackets to keep me cozy when the temps drop. Here are 5 awesome options.

It’s Plastic Free July! These Brands Want to Help You Ditch Single-Use

Alisha McDarris — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 19:43:44 +0000

It's plastic-free July! Which means it's time to talk about single-use plastic waste and how we can do our part to reduce it. Why? Because as the oft-quoted stat declares, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050, 90% of plastic doesn't actually get recycled (including the stuff you put in the recycle bin), and all of that adds up to devastated eco systems, overflowing landfills, and a whole lot of wasted resources. So check out these brands who want nothing more than to help you make the switch from single-use.

Sustainable Climbing Ropes – The Most Eco-Friendly climbing Rope on the Market

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 14:58:46 +0000

If there's one thing that savvy climbers never buy used, it's climbing rope. After all, a rope's job is literally to save your life; you don't want some weathered length of cord that might not be able to handle the shock of a fall or two. But most climbing rope, like harnesses, isn't sustainable, so eco-conscious climbers may feel just a pang of guilt every time they have to buy another 60 meters of brand new rope (and what to do with the old one?!). Not anymore. Because these sustainable climbing ropes prove form, function and sustainability (uh, also safety) can go hand-in hand.
