Don't Buy This Don't Buy This is what Patagonia-an outdoor clothing company-told their customers in 2013. Instead, the company promised certain things: If you bring your damaged clothes to the company, they'll repair them. If you give them your old clothes, they'll recycle them.

It also creates goodwill for the companies.
