Good day all. North Face is a company that sells outdoor gear. They also will put company logos on their gear for business that ask them to, (And pay them of course). The one exception to this is the Oil and Gas industry. (Probably the gun and ammo industries too, but I haven\u2019t heard)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

North Face is all in favor of shutting down the industry and will not sell to oil companies. Now they have the right not to do business with these industries. However, one of these companies took exception to North Face\u2019s proclamations and decided to show the apparel company that they are extensive users of the products that they insist not be drilled. Here are the details from Fox Business News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The oil<\/a> and gas industry launched a new ad campaign Thursday against North Face to shine a light on the outdoor apparel company<\/a>‘s<\/b> “<\/b><\/strong>crazy<\/b> <\/b>hypocrisy.” <\/b><\/p>\n

Chris Wright, the CEO of Denver-based Liberty Oilfield Services, is spearheading the campaign by putting up billboards around North Face’s Denver offices and launching a website<\/a> and social media campaign, dubbed “Thank you, North Face.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The idea for the campaign started after North Face denied an order of jackets<\/a> to a Texas oil and gas company reportedly because the popular fleece maker did not want its outdoor brand affiliated with the fossil fuel business. <\/b>Now Wright is trolling the company in Denver by calling out how many North Face jackets, backpacks and clothing products are made from oil and gas. <\/b><\/p>\n

Oh this is going to be good. These days, almost everything is made out of synthetics, not natural materials. They tend to be lighter and still provide, in the case of jackets, the same or greater levels of protection that a much heavier coat made of natural materials would. They also tend to be less expensive to manufacture.<\/p>\n

There’s “no chance that North Face could exist as a company or an organization without oil and gas,” Wright told Fox Business Thursday.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s the thing about virtue signaling. Facts, and reality don\u2019t matter, only the Feelz matter. Mr. Wright then explains just how much of North Face\u2019s product line actually uses the petrochemicals they claim they don\u2019t want to have around. Here is the video put out by Mr. Wright both explaining this to North Face and thanking them for being such a great customer of the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n
