We are all connected.
Lead strategist, Hobart Stocking is an environmentalist, writer and entrepreneur who believes we
cannot save the world without savoring the world. When he’s not helping organizations grow and
achieve their missions, he’s sailing the Atlantic, climbing Mount Kenya or hiking across the Grand
Canyon. Hobie has 24 years of marketing experience and is happy to regale you with case studies

Connectivity at a higher level.
You are not alone in changing the world. There are others that share your values and can help spread
your message. SkyWaterEarth believes changing the world is a collective challenge and relies on our
interdependence. That’s why we’re developing the SkyWaterEarth Network. A group of organizations

Discovery of New Volcano in American Southwest
I am camped at sunset in the canyons of the Colorado River, surrounded by massive red cliffs, when I look up. It appears I am witnessing a geological event: the first new volcano in millions of years. Volcanoes typically suppress global warming by reflecting the sun's heat back into [...]
10 Reasons to Be Optimistic on the Environment
The Trump administration is a disaster for Americans who want clean air and water and to reduce global warming. Under his onslaught, it is also easy to lose hope or become cynical. We should worry about Trump’s executive orders, but we should also be concerned with cynicism. If you [...]
The Conversation – What’s It Like In Flyover Country?
Let’s call him Art (not his real name). Art drives a Buick Enclave, I would have guessed a Ford F150. He’s from a small town in southern Illinois, population 3,000. Art’s driving cross-country with his wife. We are trapped in a laundromat watching clothes tumble. He’s drinking a beer, [...]
Utah Wind and Eagles – Part 2
What’s the life of a single golden eagle worth? It’s an unfair question, but the one I ask, Steve Slater, director of Hawk Watch International (HWI) in Salt Lake City. There are two answers he says. The first, is that there is value in all life. The second, is a [...]
Utah Wind and Eagles – Part 1
The first day, I drive 850 miles. The second 500 miles. The third day, I ask myself where am I going, and drive 250 miles. It’s hard to slow down, unplug. I am programmed like a pelagic shark to keep swimming. I put my phone in airplane mode. It’s [...]
Earthwalker Pledge
As I walk the Earth; I promise to preserve, conserve, and defend; our air, land, and water; and all the creatures that live on it; because we are all connected. Take the Pledge, Savor the Earth. If you're on social media - take a video and [...]
The Stuff We Carry
We all have a lot of stuff. Perhaps for evolutionary reasons, we are programmed to accumulate stuff. Maybe, the more stuff we have the more likely we are to survive? Now we even have storage warehouses, where we can store our extra stuff because we’ve run out of room. [...]
Lessons from the March for Science
Quick, what was the core message of the March for Science? If you have a little difficulty, it’s understandable. Scientists aren’t always great communicators. If you Google “March for Science” you will get the following two non-compelling statements. “It is time for scientists, science enthusiasts, and concerned citizens to come together to [...]
Desert
Passing through a door in the rock, Walking on ancient seas, Down through the basement of time, Following a desert wren. The canyons are painted by gods, Small hand prints here or there. Now I am the sun, the wind, the earth, A single grace note, in a world without [...]
Texas Wind – A Good Day
I am in Donley County, Texas. The panhandle. As sparse as the spelling of its name. Flat, dry to the edge of the earth, and bucking a headwind. But something’s going on here. My eye catches a white wind turbine, then another and another. As I look, dozens fade [...]
What We Forget
Half of who we are is what we remember. The other half is what we forget. The first is made sweeter or more valuable when we remember what we forgot. I remember the crack of a branch. I am camped on the side of mountain near Lake Manyara. The [...]
A Renewed American Environmental Fascism
My inbox is filled with a hundred emails everyday telling me to “resist” the travesty wrecked on our climate and environment by our new president and his kleptocrats. There is no doubt that the environment is being plundered and destroyed by these people for nothing other than simple greed. [...]
When the Last Tree Falls… Will Anyone Hear It?
I am heading from Portland to Coos Bay, Oregon. Having some extra time, I drive the back roads through what seem like endless verdant forests. The road winds through valleys next to streams, and the forests climb the hills and mountains to the ridgelines. It’s a good day. The [...]
Climate Change Is Real. So What?
Of course climate change is real. So what? Is this really helping? I’d say no. Part I: Given the appointment of climate deniers to key cabinet posts coupled with the rapid rollback of environmental regulations by the Trump Administration, it feels OK to be angry. Scott Pruitt, the new [...]
A Tale of Two Ranches
I have always been fascinated by maps. Imagining what places may look like from their names. I am heading west in search of the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands. What I believe to be a vast area of tall prairie grasses waving in the steady breezes of South Dakota. Endless [...]
