Patagonia Asking for Help Lightening Their Environmental Impact
By Rocky Thompson on March 26th, 2008
Patagonia launched a site that seeks to expose the company’s environmental and social impact so that some of their customers might help. The idea behind The Footprint Chronicles is that their consumers would look at the lifecycle of their products and then suggest changes in the manufacturing or design process. They figure that a lot of erudite people buy their crap, so why not lean on them for a little help? Check out The Footprint Chronicles if you’re feeling especially altruistic today.

I love Pata-gucci and buy from them fairly regularly. However, they won’t come to grips with their responsibility for buying goods from China. China has poisoned our people (food and medicine), poisoned our pets (dog and cat food), poisoned our children (lead paint in toys), poisoned the environment, practiced genocide in Tibet, used child labor — the list goes on and on. They need to stop buying from China and we need to keep telling them that. It really does matter and they will listen if enough people tell them. However, as long as they buy from China, no awards from me.
When I see Patagucci fags in the line up in those Patagucci wetsuits I run ‘em over.
They go baa-aaa-aaa like sheep when my skeg goes through their board.
Whoa, WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot, so far this week you’ve gotten down on Jeremy Wray for doing an insane gap on his skateboard, anyone who tows into waves that are too big to paddle into, and now people who choose to spend their money on a products you have some unexplained problem with.
You’ve got a winning attitude, which is to say, you’re a dick. Just an observation.
How can you observe anything when your head is always up your ass? Anyway, right back atcha,
I just said Wray is a shoe-in for a Darwin Award. He’s a news item waiting to happen. The news item won’t be kind.
Do you even surf? Please don’t tell me you skateboard or snowboard and how it’s almost the same thing.
I live in SoCal. I see pretentious assclown-wannabees in Patagucci all the time. They’re typically newbs with more cash than experience.
Have a good one.
I do skate. I do surf. If the snow is better than the swell, then I do snowboard, too.
I don’t really see a problem with people who have money spending it on things they are interested in, experience level having nothing to do with it. I don’t think they have a problem with you being better than them.
I know what your saying about newbs, but it just seems shitty have such a violent reaction to someone owning an expensive wetsuit despite experience.
I surf (since 1968) and snowboard. Gave up skating.
Calm down. Bigger enemies out there than the folks in this blog (or the lineup).
Don’t blame you for feeling crushed in SoCal. Rather take a whipping than go back there.
I agree with whiskeytangofoxtrot. I have purchased plenty of patagucci’s overpriced crap. I live in a northeastern university town and most of the people i see walking around in patagucci do seem like pretentious douche bags.
