In May, the Chilean government approved the
construction of five huge dams in the area of southern
Chile
that inspired Yvon Chouinard to name our company
Patagonia
.
Mass protests were organized shortly after the announcement of
the decision, and we joined them in solidarity by gathering at
our
Ventura
headquarters for a caceroloza, a form of protest used in
Chile
and other Spanish-speaking countries where citizens
bang pots and pans in loud opposition.
