The Monster in Our Closet

Author(s): Patagonia
Video Release Date: June 5, 2022

Plastics are essential to building durable, high-performance clothing. But they’re also accelerating the environmental crisis, from the fossil fuels used to make materials like polyester to the plastic pollution that piles up once that clothing has been tossed. Through the eyes of a lawyer, a climate reporter, and a Patagonia designer, The Monster In Our Closet uncovers the dangerous threads that connect the clothing industry to the oil and gas industry and what we can all do on the individual, business, and government levels to create the change that our planet needs. Learn more about how Patagonia is rethinking plastics in products and our goal to eliminate virgin petroleum from our supply chain: Patagonia/whyplastics
