100% for the Planet

Pretty cool. If you haven't read the article on Yvon Chouinard, take a look. He's been a personal role model for me for quite a while, so I am probably biased. But I thought the article provided a bit of concrete redirection. A reminder.

Great stuff. Somewhere in there is a birthday present for my dad. He is getting more and more warmth challenged, so I try to keep him well insulated.

A number of their non-profits are bicycle organizations, including New York's own Recycle-a-Bicycle.

Yet another reason Patagonia is getting more and more of my business. About 4 years ago I decided that as things wore out Patagonia would be the first place I looked for replacements, because of their sustainable business practices and focus on supporting grass roots environmental organizations. It makes me very happy to see Patagonia continuing this and validates my decision to support them.
