"If you're going to buy clothing," says Yves Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, the Natural Capital Center's anchor retail tenant, "the most responsible thing you can do is go to the Salvation Army. And if you're going to open a new business, the most responsible thing you can do is find an old building and restore it." — Historic Warehouse Grows Green, ArchitectureWeek 2001.1128.
