Burgeon Outdoor Brand

[B the Hiker]

That's a bit simplistic for the real world. Better manufacturers? Is a manufacturer who is able to offer a high-performing product at a less expensive price because they ignore/get around/avoid OSHA, environmental, labor laws a better manufacturer? Are manufacturers who use child labor better so long as their products perform well? Or from another aspect, do customer service and the degree to which a company stands behind its products not matter?

Thank you for writing this.

I do my best to shop as much as possible from 1% for the Planet companies, the most famous of which is Patagonia.

One can go to their website: https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/ and delve deeply into where they do business, their materials and environmental programs, the social responsibility programs, and on and on and on.
