Dragging Your Wallet Into Eco-Warrior Mode — This Is The Hidden Cost Of Pattie Gonia’s Viral Activism
You might know Pattie Gonia as the drag queen who hikes in heels, but her latest environmental push could hit your bank account directly. The influencer’s new campaign demands that major outdoor brands slash fossil fuel ties — and if they listen, the price of your next camping gear or puffer jacket could jump by 15%. Worse, some companies are already warning that supply chain shifts will trickle down to your grocery bill, as sustainable packaging costs get passed onto shoppers. But here’s the twist: ignoring her call could make your favorite gear vanish from shelves as retailers scramble to appease eco-conscious Gen Z buyers. Whether you’re a hiker or just buying a backpack for school, your next purchase just got political — and pricier.
