To explore how we can keep trash of all kinds from reaching our oceans, we spent a week in Joshua Tree with Mike Donaldson and Hayley Ashburn, climbing guides who use their business to instill a sense of stewardship in the area’s natural resources. These two promote Leave No Trace principles at every opportunity and leave each of their climbers with this thought: “Take care of the place where you play.” Sounds like our next graphic tee. — THE UBB TEAM

DO NO HARM the core principle behind Naked Edge Guide Service and Outfitter.

TRAVEL ON DURABLE SURFACES
Hiking off trail really does damage to the fragile plants and ecosystems. PICK UP MICROTRASH
run a climbing guide business in Joshua
Things like climbing tape fragments, the
Tree called Naked Edge. They have a lot
edges of energy bar wrappers, split chalk,
of love for J-Tree (as the locals call it),
and plastic rope shrink seal.
and they use their business to instill a sense of stewardship in the area’s precious resources. As a Leave No Trace master trainer, Hayley gave us her LNT guidelines while climbing: LEAVE THE CHALK AT HOME
PACK OUT FOOD
The raven population in Joshua Tree National Park has increased 1000% over the past 30 years. This is directly attributable to the abundance of human food in the park. Keeping our food away from ravens is vital, because they’re the main predator of the endangered desert tortoise.
White climbing chalk leaves blotches on cliff surfaces and can damage the rock. USE SOFTER ROPE
We advocate for boars hair, or other natural fibers instead of nylon. These softer fibers are gentler on the rock.
While she seems at home in the boulder fields now, just three years ago Hayley was in a nasty car accident that left her bedridden for a year. Find out how she conquered El Capitan with a broken leg on the blog: UNITEDBYBLUE.COM/JOURNAL

ONE AND A HALF MILLION POUNDS (AND COUNTING) For every product sold, United By Blue removes one pound of trash from our world’s oceans and waterways. It’s in our DNA: we organized our first community cleanup the week we sold our first t-shirt. Nine years later, we’re still hauling old tires, gathering plastic bottles, and picking up the bits of styrofoam that litter our shorelines. Whether you place an order online or buy a coffee at our Philadelphia flagship store, you’re directly funding our cleanup efforts. Wanna see your dollars in action? Join us on our nationwide 2019 tour!
