Green Leaf Report

Today I signed up to stop catalog delivery to my home through Catalog Choice, a service supporting sustainable industry best practices.  My biggest pet peeve is the Pottery Barn catalogs- a few years ago we bought a natural fiber rug from Pottery Barn for our living room.  Unfortunately, our dogs seemed to think the natural fibers were their own little midnight potty spot, and after a few morning surprises, the rug has long since been moved into the garage.  The catalogs keep coming, though, generally two at a time, and more reliable than the changing of the seasons.  While we’re going into November with highs hovering near 90 degrees, it may be that the only snow that passes through my yard this year are the holiday scenes on the pages of those recent Pottery Barn catalogs.  It’s time to stop the craziness, stop those catalogs, stop cutting down trees for marketing initiatives.
