I’m a big fan of Patagonia and have reviewed their products many times over the years like HERE, HERE and HERE. The company is about as groovy green as they come. Patagonia has an incredible mission statement that sums up the eco-philosophies of the company:“Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.”
There is a great Patagonia initiative underway -with each pair of Patagonia shoes sold through PlanetShoes.com through April 4, 2013 Patagonia will donate $10 to World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
World Wildlife Fund
The World Wildlife fund is an international organization working to save the planet through conservation, research and restoration of the environment.
By 2020 WWF will conserve 15 of the world’s most ecologically important regions by working in partnership with others to:
- Protect and restore species and their habitats
- Strengthen local communities’ ability to conserve the natural resources they depend upon
- Transform markets and policies to reduce the impact of the production and consumption of commodities
- Ensure that the value of nature is reflected in decisions made by individuals, communities, governments and businesses
- Mobilize hundreds of millions of people to support conservation
Patagonia through PlanetShoes.com will donate $10 to WWF for every pair of shoes sold through April 4, 2013.
Patagonia Bandha Criss-Cross Sandal
I was very excited when PlanetShoes.com asked me to review a pair of Patagonia sandals The timing was perfect since spring has almost sprung and I’m ready to put away my winter boots and break out the summer kicks.
I’m really looking forward to wearing them once the weather warms up in Boston.
