<h1>Rooted Freedom</h1>
<div class="brand">
Stewardship in land, tools, and thought — from a tree service that believes in permanence.
</div>

<div class="quote">
"Strong trees grow slowly. Free minds do the same."
</div>

<h2>Why We Care About This</h2>
<p>
At our tree business, we work with living systems that require patience, humility, and respect.
We believe those same principles should apply to technology, privacy, and culture.
</p>

<p>
Modern platforms reward speed, dependence, and constant surveillance.
We choose a different path — quieter, slower, and rooted.
</p>

<h2>Our Quiet Principles</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use tools that serve people, not profiles.</li>
<li>Prefer local ownership over centralized control.</li>
<li>Value durability over convenience.</li>
<li>Teach discernment instead of obedience.</li>
</ul>

<h2>What “DeGoogle” Means Here</h2>
<p>
It does not mean rejecting technology.
It means refusing to let any single corporation shape our tools, our markets, or our thinking.
</p>

<ul>
<li>Privacy-respecting browsers and search engines.</li>
<li>Local-first systems whenever possible.</li>
<li>Minimal data collection.</li>
<li>Intentional digital habits.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Stewardship Mindset</h2>
<p>
We care for trees because they will outlive us.
We care for privacy because freedom should outlive us too.
</p>

Rooted work. Rooted values. Rooted future.<br>
