Yvon Chouinard, founder of the successful outdoor outfitter company Patagonia, his wife and two adult children have transferred their ownership of Patagonia, valued at about $3 billion, to a specially designed trust and a nonprofit organization. They were created to preserve the companyβs independence and ensure that all of its profits β some $100 million a year β are used to combat climate change and protect undeveloped land around the globe.

The unusual move comes at a moment of growing scrutiny for billionaires and corporations, whose rhetoric about making the world a better place is often overshadowed by their contributions to the very problems they claim to want to solve.

At the same time, Mr. Chouinardβs relinquishment of the family fortune is in keeping with his longstanding disregard for business norms, and his lifelong love for the environment.

βPatagoniaβ is also a you tube channel containing incredible environmental films that will definitely broaden oneβs perspective, often revealing what those most responsible would obviously prefer to keep well hidden. Iβve watched several of them. I was in awe of the magnificent beauty of nature. Some of the films left me shocked, saddened & angered at the selfishness & destruction. If you get a chance to view them, I recommend highly.
