Growing Spaces: Where Life Thrives


It’s no secret. As a nation, we are becoming increasingly dependent on processed foods, disconnecting ourselves from true food sources and nature, and paying the consequences with rising obesity rates and poor health.

The shift away from the family farm toward the modern grocery store doesn’t mean you have to trade fresh produce for fruits and vegetables grown with pesticides. Growing Spaces can help you grow natural food in an efficient and affordable way with Growing Dome™ Greenhouses.

Growing Domes use renewable energy, water and earth to create warm, lush environments that allows fresh vegetables, flowers, fruits, and herbs to be grown year round.

Yet, Growing Domes are not just for personal use to grow plants. They can also enclose meditation centers, massage and physical therapy studios, or serve as a community greenhouse. Schools use them to educate children on the living earth, organic growing, and science.

Peace and Hope Begin with Educating One Child at a Time

Founder of the Central Asia Institute, Greg Mortenson, had an inspirational encounter in the mountainous regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan after a failed attempt of summiting K2 that lead to his mission of providing education for the communities there. Mortenson created a network of local community members that are involved in the progression of the educational projects in these regions, and in doing so established a sustainable program that now has 130 schools and provides education to over 51,000 students.

OneTribe.com has added Central Asia Institute to the humanitarian network of non-profits and designed inspirational cotton T-shirts that will provide the funds needed to educate a young student for one year when purchased. The men and women’s line of organic apparel focuses on the mantra of the Central Asia Institute, “Peace and Hope Begin with Educating One Child at a Time.”

The women’s graphic is an open text book with its pages slowly turning into leaves that blossom into beautiful Jasmine flowers, the national Pakistani flower.


The men’s design symbolizes war changing to peace through the power of education by depicting a missile turning into a pencil.
