Here’s a story to lift the spirits on World Environment Day: a woke clothing company getting totally roasted by an oil industry executive.
The woke clothing company is North Face, the mountain-wear manufacturer which in December last year refused an order for 400 branded jackets with the Innovex logo.
According to Adam Anderson, CEO of Houston-based Innovex Downhole Solutions, this was “because we were an oil and gas services company.”
Perhaps, it was suggested, North Face didn’t want to taint its image in the eyes of its woke target audience by being seen to big up the fossil fuel industry?
But there’s a problem here, as another industry exec has now pointed out in a brutal takedown video aimed at North Face.
WATCH: North Face refused to make jackets for an oil and gas company.
So the fossil fuel industry is fighting back with a new campaign “thanking” North Face for using so much petroleum in their products.

Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Oilfield Services, has been through North Face’s clothing catalog and claims:
I could not find a single product that was not made out of oil and gas.
Globally, 60 percent of all clothing fibres are made out of oil and gas. For North Face, it is likely 90 percent or more.
North Face, he goes on to argue, is so indebted to the oil and gas industry that it effectively is the oil and gas industry:
Our customer relationship goes much further than simply supplying North Face with copious raw material. Their vast manufacturing, distribution, and retailing networks are also large consumers of gasoline, diesel, natural gas, propane, jet fuel, etc. Perhaps they went the extra mile with those outdoor natural gas and propane fireplaces at headquarters, and the private jet terminal.
Happy World Environment Day, North Face!

I just love a good carbon-hypocrite, it’s so 2021. The Democrat’s are all over it.
It is not just North Face, but today the clothing industry couldn’t exist as it does without the use of oil based fabrics. Check out:

To summarize one point, the alternative to oil based fabrics would be to go back to cotton. However, the demand for clothing has skyrocketed. There isn’t enough farm land in the world that could be devoted to growing the extra cotton.
Actually it is worse than that. North Face is protesting the petroleum industry while almost everything they sell is actually petroleum based.
What explains this behaviour is that they think their customer base hates the petroleum industry from which all their products made. They hope to avoid the boycott of their products by the lunatics who think we should return to the Dark Ages to save the planet.
Sadly the lunatics have no idea that their soft cushy life is entirely dependent on oil and gas.
So now North Face is deciding to dictate was brand of clothes their consumers wear all over this idiotic campaign to end all uses of Fossil Fuels Yes Politics are whole lot of idiotic liberal poppycock
