    [Ecodharma] Good Deed

    I tried to share an article but saw it was behind a pay wall so please search internet to read…

    The founder of Patagonia (clothing company) gave away his company to a non profit that would further his values towards climate change and addressing environmental degradation.

    Some days the news is good and gives me encouragement (hope) for the future.

      Yvon Chouinard, who became famous for alpine climbs in Yosemite and then as a manufacturer of outdoor gear, said in a note: "We’re making Earth our only shareholder."

          What a great thing to do! Much respect to Yvon Chouinard.

          It is also reported in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...yvon-chouinard

              Yes. I saw that this morning. Definitely a very admirable action on Yvon Chouinard and his family’s part.
