Petition: Outdoor Gear Shouldn't Contain Toxins
Anywhere
The outdoor gear industry has a toxic secret. Many popular outdoor brands use PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to waterproof their products—from jackets to boots. The production, use, and disposal of these products pollute people and the planet.
Exposure to PFAS has been linked to harmful health impacts like cancer. And these chemicals now pollute the drinking water of at least 1 in 20 U.S. residents. Plus, the chemicals have been found in breast milk and even in orcas!
Buying a rain jacket shouldn’t pollute drinking water, breast milk, or wildlife. As a co-op committed to sustainability and one of the top outdoor retailers, REI is the perfect company to lead the industry away from these toxic chemicals. Join in asking REI to remove these toxins.

From polystyrene peanuts to non-recyclable bubble wrap to plastic-wrapped pouches of air, almost every Amazon order arrives wrapped in plastic packaging that is then thrown away or littered.
A recent report by Oceana found that Amazon generated a staggering 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste in 2020 - a 29% increase over 2019.
They estimate that more than 23.5 million pounds of Amazon's plastic packaging waste is now polluting the world’s oceans and waterways.
Consider adding your name to a growing petition asking Amazon to STOP polluting our planet with single-use plastic packaging.

The materials in your clothing matter! 🧦 In 2021, we were able to give a second life to over 6,000 pounds of cotton that would have otherwise been thrown away.
Sports venues are getting help to go sustainable. Known as massive landfills in their own right, sporting events can generate tens of thousands of pounds in trash. (The avg NFL game creates 80,000 lbs of waste!). Kudos to the Green Sports Alliance Playbook!

Hang tags like these 👆 will be a thing of the past when Patagonia rolls out its digitized hang tags in Spring '23. For the past year we’ve been working with EVRYTHNG on a mission to divert 174,000 pounds of paper waste from landfills.
