A reason to buy Patagonia brand clothing.

“From suing the president over Bears Ears National Monument to boycotting one of the outdoor industry's biggest trade shows, Patagonia hasn't been shy about wading into politics. But one of its latest political statements isn't splashed in an ad or plastered across their homepage—it's hidden on the back of a clothing tag.” https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/yes-patagonia-hid-vote-the-assholes-out-on-some-of-its-tags?fbclid=IwAR3bjOSfLr5az3e0h-ju6Fwv8h0zguDr3NIaHmf2ilCFkHOFBWgaVLU6V9Q

From giving 1% to the planet. Reducing waste in the manufacturing process and many other admirable practices. Patagonia shows how a corporation can work for the common good.
