Patagonia also retweeted a post from the Indigenous Environmental Network, one of the company’s environmental grantees, declaring that “we have finally defeated an oil and gas giant! Keystone XL is DEAD!”
California-based Patagonia has long opposed Keystone, decrying President Trump’s 2017 decision to approve the U.S.-Canada cross-border permit and thanking President Biden for canceling it in January, even though the firm’s jackets, backpacks and gear are made with nylon, polyester and other petroleum-based fibers.
A big congratulations to all! “The termination of this zombie pipeline sets precedent for President Biden and polluters to stop Line 3, Dakota Access, and all fossil fuel projects,” Kendall Mackey, campaign manager of https://t.co/pMHfI2cNCp‘s Keep It in the Ground campaign. https://t.co/YtfXzDhlwd

Louisiana Lawmakers Commend Anti-Fossil Fuel North Face For Being A Loyal Oil And Gas Customer
Like many companies today, The North Face claims a moral high ground by politically aligning itself with leftist views.
While the California-based company would not provide 400 jackets to West Texas oil and gas developer Innovex Downhole Solutions, it is dependent on the fossil fuel industry. Nearly two-thirds of its apparel is produced from synthetic materials made possible by fossil fuels. The parkas, boots, and backpacks The North Face sells are made from products it virtue-signals against to appease the left.
The North Face, though, tells a different story when in the public eye. The company claimed it will not sell its apparel to oil and gas companies, which are supposedly “not consistent with its brand standards.” The woke capitalists say they will provide “100% responsibly-sourced apparel fabrics by 2025.”
