Their jet is made from 100% recycled endangered species! It's also powered by the tears of infants. This should be a wake-up call for them to switch to eco-friendly materials. Use recycled plastics instead of virgin plastic. Yes, it's still an oil-based material but it helps to reduce waste. Also, the more companies using recycled materials the cheaper they become. Switching to recycled materials will at least allow them time to develop eco-materials. They could pay for it by canceling their company's yearly expedition to Antarctica and Mt Everest. If they don't we can boycott them by buying all Fake The North Face. Sure it's not the same quality but at least when we freeze to death we die with our morals intact.
I'm sure North Face will, within the next year, produce a windmill jacket, a geothermal jacket, and a solar energy jacket -- without using any oil products at all. Of course, anyone wearing this stuff will freeze to death in the winter, but hey, you have to freeze a few old ladies to make an environmental statement.
Electric cars powered by fossil fuels. In my opinion the Left wants credit for optics and good intentions and could not care less about actual results no matter how bad as long as they can pretend their intentions were good.
Years ago, they used to joke that singer John Denver would fly over his beloved Rocky Mountains in his private helicopter. Whether true or not, the pretense of (environmental) purity has always been with us.
It's sad that he died while flying in his experimental aircraft, but you are right, he did fly private aircraft. Don't know if any were a helicopter. ;-)
@@johnlepant6953 Yup and he died because the experimental aircraft he was flying had such a stupidly designed reserve fuel system that you couldn't turn it on when in the air........... let's just let that settle in for a second........
There are people who don't know breakfast eggs come from chickens, and that their hamburger patty comes from a cow,. Hence, this in not surprising how many people have ZERO concept of how many daily use items are from petroleum products. And yes, it bothers me that most of my property taxes go into a school system, that let's these people graduate with a diploma. What a joke!
It doesn't matter how many people know or don't know. The fact is, we are not given many choices by the producers of said products. Given a choice I'd pay a little more not to use petroleum based products.
"...even dentures and soft contacts. Who knew?" Maybe the media could decide to do good with their platform and their reach by providing the TRUTH, and then we would ALL know.
North Face CEO, grow some balls and walk the walk.You should immediately stop buy any product that is produces as a byproduct from hydrocarbons, stop using fossil fuel transportation, stop using fossil fuel energy, etc.. You know you can't. I have sold my VFC stock and I hope everyone offended by this lunacy will do so as well.
Natural fibers like cotton and wool still require oil and gas to run the looms that weave their fibers....and anyone wearing them would never survive an attempt on Everest or survive a night in a natiral fiber sleeping bag in the wilderness. Cotapaxi brand is a good alternative and they put their money where their mouth is. What about Northface's parent company that makes fire retardant clothing for firefighters???
I've been a consumer of NF and various other company's products most of my life. As an avid climber and skier my life and fun depends upon them. But the hypocrisy of these companies talking about environmental causes while producing yet another cute fleece jacket for rich soccer moms to go to their kid's games in is beyond ridiculous. They literally make thousands of products that no one really needs but everyone wants. They should just shut up and enjoy the success.
Hey. Any of you anti oil people who have purchased north face apparel and are hating yourself now. Let me help you.. send it to me. My daughter loves their stuff.
This could possibly back fire, informing people exactly how much product they actually use from petroleum..lol Next will be how to replace such products..lol They are right people so not realize how much our culture depends on products made from petroleum.
That would actually be a brilliant repositioning if only they actually captured carbon to produce their apparel. But that will never happen as it's not profitable.
@@jeffjarvis222 you are perfectly right. I did not mean that such argumentation would be correct. What is correct is that as long you do not burn their products you made better use of the inactive raw material that is the petrolium product, not considering what happens on they way to get there.
Yet another case of a large company "virtue signaling", betting that the vast majority of their customers have no idea of how their products are really made.
We used to make all of this thermal protection stuff from sustainable & renewable, natural materials: Wool; Cotton; Leather to name a few. If North Face (and any other), virtue signalling corporation was truly genuine then they would go back to these materials. However, their business is to make as much money as they can by producing a product that meets or exceeds a customers requirements. There is nothing wrong with that in the slightest. However, right now, those materials come from the fossil fuel industry. So how is this plainly idiotic, virtue signalling, move by North Face going to make them more money? Well, we must not forget that intelligence is a rare attribute in the human population, so they just may make more with this stunt. In 2021 you actually don't have to do anything to "save the planet". Simply making a hypocritical gesture, or statement, is all that is required. God save us all.
Initially, NF seems hypocritical, but are they really? Using petroleum to make an essential product which will be reused hundreds, maybe thousands, of times appears to me to be a far more responsible use case than many other wasteful applications.
I think you're missing the point. They denied an order of their own product to a company that supplies the raw materials for those jackets. That's the hypocrisy.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Maybe North Face can make jackets out of sunshine and wind. Until then, they can shove the holier than thou attitude.

About time someone brought a little dose of reality to this unhinged discussion. Good on the Colorado Oil and Gas Association.
Liked your comment and also like your profile pic! Mark was telling us how much Disney screwed up the Star Wars franchise!
Every oil company should ban them. Put them out of business.
Wouldn't work. They are not direct customers. This is a much better way to humiliate them.
"But, but, muh 'carbon offsets'!" senior management says as they are whisked away via private jet 👌

@@Jonathan.D I agree. Look at what Patagonia and Prana are doing.

You make me laugh too much!
Boycott North Face for their hypocrisy!!
Electric cars powered by fossil fuels. In my opinion the Left wants credit for optics and good intentions and could not care less about actual results no matter how bad as long as they can pretend their intentions were good.
no thanks im good
Left or right, it's way too simplistic. Let's keep it to the topic of corporate hypocrisy. North Face caught with its petroleum based pants down.
@@kctechie Yeah, everyone who buys an electric car should be required to put a windmill in their back yard.
Years ago, they used to joke that singer John Denver would fly over his beloved Rocky Mountains in his private helicopter. Whether true or not, the pretense of (environmental) purity has always been with us.

Nothing says "Hurr durr, muh climate change!!" like a private jet. Ask John Kerry.
Buy Peak Performance it's ten times better and less Woke!!!
Yeah, exceptional quality product. I own 2 sets of gore-tex pro shell gear from them. Nothing wrong with oil and gas. Just use it responsibly.
Well played, a little well deserved attention for North Face... Good on you!
Libs just don’t think all they do is feel. Go Tex
What?

Fossil fuels allow humanity to flourish. Unlike expensive and unreliable solar and wind.
"...even dentures and soft contacts. Who knew?"

I too was surprised that Dentures were included in their products. Great‼️. I wonder, Are they dangerous to one's mouth, or stomach 🤔🤢😳🤢🤔
@@janeelliott2779 Only your level of stupidity is dangerous to our society .

In other words - shut down the company as they can't produce their products without oil and gas.

@@rockyroad7345 Wrong. There is solar and wind energy that can run their looms. Mt. Everest was conquered long before there were any synthetic fibers.
Good for North Face!!!!
waaaaaaa?
@@markwagner7479 Sorry mark I don't speak snowflake.
hard to believe this is on a cbs affiliate
when your so woke you don't even understand how your own company works
I will not be buying any more merchandise from NF. I support the keystone XL pipeline and gas and oil as it is vital to the American economy.
Good for you. I suppose if we didn't have oil you'd still be burning whale oil?
Hysterical.....
Bravo!!!!!!
Savage
Love this!!! Hilarious! The world needs more smart ridicule like this.
Thats a roast
I can’ believe their face went south just like thay
We need to do this to every company that does what the north face did... show how they actually use the industry they are slandering
The North Face uses sweatshops as well.
Has North Face forgot that their plastic clothes are a biproduct of oil?
God I don't love to have no one to see you in North face face looked like after that backlash
🚫 NORTH FACE 🚫
And at lunchtime, out back, Northface employees are standin around anxiously demanding turns on a filthy glass pipe

LMFAO

No North Face for my family.

Haha this is great
own goal lol
North Farce.
No comment?? Prolly all in Aspen at the LGBTQlmnop parade.
This could possibly back fire, informing people exactly how much product they actually use from petroleum..lol
Next will be how to replace such products..lol
They are right people so not realize how much our culture depends on products made from petroleum.
Not likely. Very few people, if any, give up convenience for "ethics" 👌
I bet the entry level graduate that cancelled that order is currently filing for unemployment.
Ignorance is bliss among the hypocrites of the world.
So North Face is a bunch of snowflakes, kind of ironic.
LOL!!!
Petroleum makes the modern world possible.
The North FARCE
Boycott Northface.
Interesting wallpaper behind you Karen! Do you like pyramids? 0.09 secs.
Hahaha 🤣
I heard about this a few months back and I have to say...I LOVE seeing these virtue signaling companies get called out. What a bunch of losers.
One could always argue that as long as you do not burn their products they can be seen as a carbon sink similar to lumber.
That would actually be a brilliant repositioning if only they actually captured carbon to produce their apparel. But that will never happen as it's not profitable.
Wrong. The petroleum they use was already out of circulation. Lumber pulls carbon from the atmosphere. North Face pulls it from deep under ground.
@@jeffjarvis222 you are perfectly right. I did not mean that such argumentation would be correct. What is correct is that as long you do not burn their products you made better use of the inactive raw material that is the petrolium product, not considering what happens on they way to get there.
what do you expect from fake people?
Yeah we have one gas station open here in Pueblo Colorado what a bunch of bullshit. I bet your North face goes out of business.
Yet another case of a large company "virtue signaling", betting that the vast majority of their customers have no idea of how their products are really made.
