Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman by Yvon Chouinard

I am vehemently against fervently defending and supporting corporations and by extension millionaires/billionaires. However, I think the handful of corporations that acknowledge their harm towards the environment and work to change it, should be acknowledged and favored over companies that do nothing.
I'm not an expert on sustainability and fashion, but reading about coffee sustainable practices leads me to believe that sustainably made goods are going to be more expensive than goods made from forced labor. It takes more money to pay workers, invests in slower practices, provides a living wage + basic benefits to the workers. Do I think the CEOS and upper management of Patagonia are overpaid? Yes. But saying that, the price of Patagonia is more justified than other fashion companies.
I still agree that wages need to be improved so that way sustainable choices are easier to make.
