Thank you for the thoughtful reply. In terms of fossil fuel based clothing, specifically, they are a growing cause for significant harm in the environment, and clothing does cause real harm that has lasting consequences. Fossil fuel based clothing accounts for around 60% of our clothing. This isn't just a problem of "a few thousand jackets." Microplastics regularly enter our water supply during laundering. This is a real problem that is causing real harm to our environment that will be very difficult to reverse. In terms of how this relates to climate change; how Patagonia as a company spends it's profits will now be up to them. I hope they'll address climate change directly, especially in terms of real solutions, but who knows what they'll do? However, I do know that if all fossil fuel based companies started re-investing all of their profits towards fixing the environment problems caused by their products, our world would be very different. And yes, Patagonia is just a drop in the bucket in terms of overall clothing production, but that is not an argument against them taking action. I like the idea of every fossil fuel based company taking similar action, not just one company. I realize this is not realistic, but it is appealing to me, at least.
