The founder of outdoor gear company said the company is transferring all of its voting shares into a trust “dedicated to fighting the environmental crisis and defending nature.” — The Associated Press

The founder of outdoor gear company Patagonia, long known for environmental activism, says the company is transferring all of its voting shares into a trust “dedicated to fighting the environmental crisis and defending nature.”

Each year after reinvesting profits back into the company, Chouinard said remaining funds will be distributed as a dividend to the trusts in their ongoing efforts to fight the climate crisis. “Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth,” Chouinard wrote.

Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard gives away company to combat climate changeFounder Yvon Chouinard said he will put 100% of the company’s voting stock into a trust. Figured the guy would be educated. At least this shows you can be easily manipulated, have no actual opinion, and use mainstream media 'facts' to live life and be rich. I'm surprised the billionaire elitist allowed this for earth !
