Patagonia Is Boycotting Facebook, Urges Other Companies to Do the Same

Patagonia's approach perpetually teeters on balancing pragmatism, quality, and environmental values.

If the company doesn't exist, it can't effect change. If a product doesn't perform a top-notch job, people won't buy it. There is a lot rolled into the phrase "Cause no unnecessary harm" [1]; I imagine it is a perpetual internal struggle within Patagonia.

That's the thing tough. As it is now I think there are plenty of alternative outdoor brands that are doing a better job in this balancing act.

I'd be very interested to learn about some of them -- what are two or three that are top-of-mind for you?
