Will have to grad a copy of the book. I think he’s done a great thing and hats off to him for doing it. Just wish others would follow his lead.
Kudos to the Chouinard family!
As long as there are people doing great things like this there'll allays be others complaining that following that type of business model is restricting my rights as a citizen consumer blah blah, and many lobbyist companies set up to denounce this kind of philanthropic behaviour, and I would hazard a guess that there are many on this forum who align themselves with that.
Yes one company doing this is not going to make a dent in terms of climate change reversal. But, you have to start somewhere.
On the basis of this thread, I've just ordered the book. Should be an interesting read
Thanks for posting OP
'– isn’t there enough clothes already in existence to clothe the entire population of the Earth for the next twenty years or something? '
I'm going to assume from the quote the poster is fairly ignorant of how Patagonia works, but they're encouraging of selling and buying of their goods second hand to reduce overall consumption, and also run the equal best repair service I've encountered.
And Kudos all round to Yvon Chouinard... any cynicism is entirely misplaced
Great stuff.
I’ve never bought any of their stuff, no idea why as they do some good stuff.
A bit embarrassing for @paton but normal sort of response from them.
This thread duplicates the one started from the main page, except this one started first and has most of the posts. Is it possible to merge the discussion?
I wouldn't normally recommend the Daily mail but if you think some of the comments here are cynical you should have a look at the ones on their website.
The STW Facebook page is attracting some (American) ‘characters’ on the story…
Friend of mine has a caravan and tells me the forum he uses
Mind blown.
Love anyting that pushed capitalism away from the weird wealth-concentrating mechanism that it's become.
I look froward to Patagonia's next phase:

I went for a laugh.
I came out depressed.
