it seemed like they made this video in defence of something, it was also pretty patronising, especially given most climbers and pretty well versed on culture and travel.

Your company is a great model for others but what are you doing for unemployed Americans here? Patagonia, please use your ingenuity and leadership to bring these jobs back to Americans. Why don't you make your own denim for instance? Make the best stuff in the world and sell it to others too. I know it wont be cheap to start but but changes like that need to happen. And it will reduce your "footprint".
