Guess I’m gonna have to buy my first ever bite of Patagonia clothing now - especially if they have any of their “Vote the as*holes out,” shirts left.

Mmm, yes, I propose funding the fight against the passage of time. Think about it, you could have all the time you ever needed.

...to fight climate change, and any other useless and impractical thing you could possibly want to do.

Chouinard; one of those amazing people who do so many extraordinary things. I hope more billionaires follow this lead.

Patagonia has been making fleece pullovers out of recycled soda pop bottles for years.
