The climate crisis is no longer a forecast—for millions, it’s become a frequent, difficult, even devastating reality, and every part of Patagonia’s business is implicated. We are enmeshed in carbon emissions: making polyester thread from oil, weaving fabric on machines run on fossil fuels, dyeing fabrics with chemical dyes and waterproofing jackets, sewing shirts in factories, transporting pants from one country to another or from one city to another, shipping clothes in plastic mailbags to the people who order them, driving to work.

If we’re to keep earth livable in the future, we must change our ways. We’re going to have to undertake “rapid and far-reaching” transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and cities,” the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in its October 2018 report. What’s more, if we’re to reduce the risk of calamity, we must act fast to keep global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, which will require cutting human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by about 45 percent from 2010 levels—and achieving “net zero” CO2 emissions—removing as much CO2 from the air as we add—by 2050.I

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
