dance-machine3년 이하Wow that’s so generous! We NEED more people like this in our world! I love when he said this "If we have any hope of a thriving planet 50 years from now, it demands all of us doing all we can with the resources we have. As the business leader, I never wanted to be, I am doing my part." I love how he’s helping our world and doing his part. Most of Patagonia's products are made using renewable and recycled raw materials, so it’s more friendly to our environment. The company's voting shares (two percent of the total stock) will now be owned by the Patagonia Purpose Trust, specially created to protect the company's values. The non-voting shares (98 percent) are being transferred to Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting climate change and preserving undeveloped land worldwide. Patagonia will donate all its profits — about $100 million a year— to the nonprofit. I think this was a good choice and more people should follow his actions.#generous #enviroment #climate
