Better Than Black Friday or Cyber Monday



Our favorite company is Patagonia.  They produce the finest outdoor apparel available.  Our son, Zander has been field testing products for them since he was 12.  Every new item blows us away not only in regard to quality but more so with the expanding company ethic.

In response to today's Cyber Monday and last week's Black Friday, they've created this new campaign called The Common Threads Initiative to highlight the environmental cost of consuming and to encourage us to not buy what we do not need.  Reduce, Repair, Reuse and then Recycle is a great mantra to pass on and a simple pledge worth taking.

  1. Very witty ad! I have to admit, I'm a big fan of black friday deals, BUT! and this is an important but, I only buy what I need. I usually wait until these events in order to buy things I needed but couldn't afford (or preferred to wait for the big discounts).

  2. It seems that there are alot of people waiting for black friday here. In this year I want to buy a new vacuum cleaner. However, I am very confused what kindle of vacuum cleaner to buy and whether it will be offered by Amazon this year or not.

  3. Amazon is knocking $30 off the price tag of its new Kindle Fire HDX tablets but you'd better hurry because this is a limited time deal.
