  • From Landfill to a Humble Home... The Story of Earthships

    Here at TORRAIN, we like to recycle. That statement is obvious -- our bags and linings are all made from recycled materials! Socially, it’s hard to miss the dire reports about our climate. With all the darkness surrounding our world, it’s so important for us to work together and do what we can.
  • Riding Elephants is No Good

    A cornerstone of our mission here at TORRAIN is not only to produce and promote sustainable products that improve the environment and support local communities, but also to encourage sustainable travel practices. I recently had the privilege of taking a long-awaited solo trip (my first ever) to Thailand ~ a place I had been dreaming of going to for a solid 10 years.
  • The Season of Reverence

    “Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.” – Yoko Ono

As hurricanes and wildfires are consistently increasing in strength, duration and destructive capabilities, the vast majority of scientists agree that this is a result of our climate changing. 

  • Be Free to Be You

    “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is one of the greatest accomplishments.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
