But Black Friday, and the culture of consumption it reflects, puts the economy of natural systems that support all life firmly in the red. We’re now using the resources of one-and-a-half planets on our one and only planet. </span></p> <p><span>Because Patagonia wants to be in business for a good long time – and leave a world inhabitable for our kids – we want to do the opposite of every other business today. We ask you to buy less and to reflect before you spend a dime on this jacket or anything else. </span></p> <p><span>Environmental bankruptcy, as with corporate bankruptcy, can happen very slowly, then all of a sudden. This is what we face unless we slow down, then reverse the damage. We’re running short on fresh water, topsoil, fisheries, wetlands – all our planet’s natural systems and resources that support business, and life, including our own. </span></p> <p><span>The environmental cost of everything we make is astonishing. Consider the R2® Jacket shown, one of our best sellers. To make it required 135 liters of </span><span>water, enough to meet the daily needs (three glasses a day) of 45 people. Its journey from its origin as 60% recycled polyester to our Reno warehouse generated nearly 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, 24 times the weight of the finished product. This jacket left behind, on its way to Reno, two-thirds its weight in waste.</span></p> <div class="column"> <p><span>And this is a 60% recycled polyester jacket, knit and sewn to a high standard; it is exceptionally durable, so you won’t have to replace it as often. And when it comes to the end of its useful life we’ll take it back to recycle into a product of equal value. But, as is true of all the things we can make and you can buy, this jacket comes with an environmental cost higher than its price. </span></p> <p><span>There is much to be done and plenty for us all to do. Don’t buy what you don’t need. Think twice before you buy anything. Go to patagonia.com/CommonThreads or scan the QR code below. Take the Common Threads Initiative pledge, and join us in the fifth “R,” to reimagine a world where we take only what nature can replace. </span></p> </div> </div> </blockquote>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/13439714252http://blog.jaijones.com/post/13439714252Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:20:09 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8w897H2MB1qzqpo1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12904562936http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12904562936Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:04:06 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lum9c5SNEC1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Beautiful day in #chs (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">Instagram</a> at Memorial Waterfront Park)</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12752765464http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12752765464Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:38:29 -0500chs<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu9d52KHLI1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Angel Oak (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12436459366http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12436459366Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:31:50 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu5zxicAp51qa2d0no1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Street art. #chs</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12351155961http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12351155961Fri, 04 Nov 2011 21:53:42 -0400charlestoncoolartgraffitibikechs<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu46nn9kNy1qa2d0no1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Dessert: Pumpkin Square with Pecan Praline Ginger Snap Crust #chs #chseats (Jestine’s Kitchen, Charleston, SC)</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12311226976http://blog.jaijones.com/post/12311226976Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:23:47 -0400charlestonfoodchs<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbv18oseIJ1qb815co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://autostream.tumblr.com/post/1672984767" class="tumblr_blog">autostream</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Speedy art.</p> <p>(via <a href="http://carpr0n.tumblr.com/post/1671437015/oil-painting-starring-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-by">carpr0n</a>)</p></blockquote>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/11636424701http://blog.jaijones.com/post/11636424701Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:30:10 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqhr46trpa1qz9917o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://jmak.tumblr.com/post/9377189056">jmak</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Thanks, Steve.</strong></p> </blockquote>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/11099628791http://blog.jaijones.com/post/11099628791Thu, 06 Oct 2011 09:31:59 -0400Steve JobsdeathRIPAppleTim Cook<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lset4vsGJn1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Latest additions to the vinyl record collection.</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10908166485http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10908166485Sat, 01 Oct 2011 18:58:07 -0400Bruce springsteenfour topsmusiccoolvinylrecords<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsedb8QAer1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In Park Circle #chs</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10894868955http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10894868955Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:16:20 -0400artgraffitiCharlestonchsstickers<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lidFipyLG8k?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10667950943http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10667950943Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:42:56 -0400jerry lee lewisclassicrockmusicvintage<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrlie0d6lI1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>What band other than @rvrctyext brings all their instrumental off the stage to come play in the crowd? #rockstarlife</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10265943536http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10265943536Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:15:35 -0400river city extensionmusicCharlestonbandmusic<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrdrwok60M1qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10102469445http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10102469445Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:00:23 -0400Charlestonmemorialbridgecooper riverchs<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrbrm1vgW81qa2d0no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Retro arcade style light switch (via <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74059377/working-arcade-light-switch">Etsy</a>)</p>http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10050267418http://blog.jaijones.com/post/10050267418Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:58:00 -0400retroarcadecoollighthomelight switchuniqueawesome
