Kathleen's

Fall has arrived at Kathleen's and as the lively green colors of summer give way to the rustic shades of autumn we are once again reminded of our roots, and just how beautiful and precious the world is that we live in.

Every one of us has a responsibility and an obligation to our environment and so we have chosen to dedicate this fall's web site update to this very important topic while at the same time providing a glimpse of just a few of our new products we have in for the season.

Did you know that each year about 19 billion paper catalogues are produced and subsequently discarded,

costing us about 53 million trees, 3.6 million tons of paper and 5.2 million tons of CO² emissions? Whew!

Instead, use CatalogueChoice.Org - a

handy online service that allows you to opt-

out of unwanted catalogues - for free. It's like

a Do Not Call registry for your mailbox. The

web site is sponsored by the Ecology Center

and endorsed by the National Wildlife

Federation since its launch nine months ago.

Users of Catalogue Choice have opted out

of over 9,200,000 catalogues - Think of how

many forests that has saved!

At Kathleen's, we are doing our part by only

using 100^% recyclable gift bags, boxes, and

wrapping papers, some of which can be seen

at right. And when its our turn to shop at

other stores - we choose to take reusable

bags with us. It's all part of thinking green.
