Patagonia is a fantastic footwear brand which aims to make the absolute best products that it is in their power to create while causing no unnecessary harm to the environment and to provide inspiration which could effectively lead to solutions to the environmental crisis through their business.
The company originally started out as a small brand who produced tools to be be used for climbers and today still produces clothing and shoes for climbers as well as for other extreme (and some not so extreme) sports such as skiing, snowboarding and surfing (and also fly fishing, paddling and trail running). What should be noted about all the sports that this brand produces items for is that they are all ‘silent sports’ in the sense that they are not harmful to the environment as none require the use of a motor.
In addition to the sports they supply to, Patagonia are also a member of the 1% club which means that the company promises 1% of it’s sales to the restoration and preservation of the environment which helps them to actively do their part in caring for the world around them. Patagonia believes that to help reverse the damage done to our planet we must all participate in the fight to save the wild and beautiful places in this world.
