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 !

Add this…go woke, go broke. Good riddance.
