Let My People Go Surfing

Michael ValeGwen AllyEnglish1 April 2008Let My People Go Surfing: The equipment that people use to rock climb can save them or kill them. Yvon Chouinard knew that he couldn’t design anything less then the best. Yvon Chouinard started really focusing on his blacksmithing in his little shack on a beach in Mexico designing pitons for him and his homeboys to climb the walls in Yosemite; But Yvon Chouniard company grew and established a successful company that does as little harm to our earth as it can and I argue that other business can take a page from Yvon Chouniards life and start respecting what they do to our earth and try to take steps on cleaning up their acts. Yvon Chouinard knowing his friends and him self would be using the equipment he took time to make strong and efficient. He started a little business and worked with friends and his friends and their family just so they could save up enough to go on camping and hiking tripe’s shiiit sounds like good times. Yvon Chouinard never wanted to be a businesses man but just fell into it: if i recall right his homeboy got married and moved to Mexico and left the business to Yvon Chouinard who would change they way I and probably other would look at big business we are all polluters and we are doing damage to this earth and should try to change that when possible and Yvon Chouinard did that with his bussiness  and using tough and durable material but at the same time trying to do as little harm to mother nature and he gives back to the environment with the money he makes from his business Patagonia. Recycle pants and underwear? Sound kind of crazy? Not to Yvon Chouinard he knows how important it is that we not inflict anymore damage then is necessary and to give back when you can. Yvon Chouinard thought that most of our worlds problems could be rooted back to the envirment and that’s why he gave money to environmental causes instead of social problems because the seem to treat the problem and try to cure it instead of trying to find the source of the problem for cancer as example so many of these government funded business are not even testing house hold object and chemicals to see they are the cause of cancer but rather try to treat it after someone gets it. “Our mission statement reflects this evolution by saying we will “cause no unnecessary harm,” and it ends with our resolution to “use business to inspire and implement solutions to l environmental crisis.” Says  Yvon Chouinard in his book Let My People Go Surfing pg# 200. I respect Yvon Chouinard for not just being greedy and think about how he can make the best money but rather started with doing what he loved and had a passion for and the business just spouted up around him, but Yvon Chouinard never fell from the right thing to do, he would make the best at what ever he could weather it was hiking equipment or clothing he wanted them to last and be durable. Yvon Chouinard  had apassion for what he was doing and never accepted anything but the best and tried to not harm the earth in the process.                              I live my life by a guide line of rules as does everyone our rules or guide line and philosophy on the way we live our life might change from person to person but they are important to us just as the company Patagonia philosophy is important to their way of working and living there five elements of philosophy can be summarized as this 1. Lead an examined life 2. Clean up our own act 3. Do our penance 4.support civil democracy. 5. Influence other companies. This is a great guide line to have a company to live by
