Resolutions for 2021 What a strange year we’ve been through. While most of our 2020 resolutions had fallen by the wayside in February, by summer, they had revived and were offering structure and a much needed sense of accomplishment. There were even resolutions added and achieved (!) – an unexpected benefit of working from home. Looking at 2021, we’re feeling more optimistic than in the past about our resolutions and our ability to integrate them into our daily life. Read More Posted on Jan 11, 2021 by Whole Earth

A couple sitting on a blanket outside having a picnic

New Holiday Traditions for 2020 Like almost everything else this year, Thanksgiving will be a holiday unlike any other. The prospect of feasting together with several generations of extended family and friends grows more remote by the day. Tables groaning with our favorite holiday foods, hijinks at the kids’ table, meeting the newest members of the family and catching up with those who live far away may have to be put on hold for now.

Ned Fritz standing in front of a Catahoula Forest sign

Ned Fritz and the Texas Land Conservancy Over the years at Whole Earth, we’ve had a wall of remembrance at our office where we post photos and obituaries of our heroes. Residents of the wall have included Sir Edmund Hillary, Colin Fletcher, and one particularly close to our heart, Ned Fritz. Ned’s granddaughter Molly is a Whole Earthling, and we’re proud to claim a member of the Fritz’ family as one of our own. Observing that Ned Fritz’ contributions to the preservation of Texas wilderness are not as well-known as perhaps they should be, we’re spreading the word about this amazing man and his work.

Young man with a backpack listening to music

Texas Tees This past summer some of our fellow Earthlings were out on the road visiting national parks and public lands far from Texas.

Here’s a sampling of the items we’re adding to our gear collections for a fall camping upgrade. Read More Posted on Sep 22, 2020 by Whole Earth
