You don’t need my comment here really as it’s all been said! But what a feat of journalism. With as much questioning and scrutiny you gave the announcement I’m sure you will have even more to ask in the coming years. I found the Carnegie quote quite poignant with all that is happening in America right now. “Wealth is not to feed our egos, but to feed the poor, and to help people help themselves”. This is just the start of a possible change to global economy, philanthropy and wealth distribution (well there’s hope). Such a bold move from Patagonia, to lead change. But the only one they could make, no? Being a clothing manufacturer when with all the clothing that already exists on this planet we could probably clothe the next 4 generations? I think with some conscience you have to give back to the earth in some way and I’m glad they are. But this story is far bigger than Patagonia as you’ve proved here.
