Patagonia, REI and Marmot are replacing toxic chemicals, pesticide
induced materials and petroleum with sustainable materials such as
Bamboo, Hemp, Recycled Plastic, Recycled tires, Organic Cotton and Organic Wool. They're powering their factories with the use of the wind
and the sun.

"And Man created the
plastic bag and the tin and aluminum can and the cellophane wrapper and
the paper plate, and this was good because Man could then take his
automobile and buy all his food in one place and He could save that
which was good to eat in the refrigerator and throw away that which had
no further use. And soon the earth was covered with plastic bags and
aluminum cans and paper plates and disposable bottles and there was
nowhere to sit down or walk, and Man shook his head and cried: "Look at
this Godawful mess";- Art Buchwald
