Carpeted cat waste…

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

We mentioned a few weeks ago our distaste for carpeted cat furniture and the potential health hazards (such as hyperthyroidism) fire retardants and petroleum based furnishings pose to cats. Looks like someone read our blog ;-) Saw one on the street yesterday…

Here are a couple comments and photo’s from our very first cats and customers…Thanks Everyone!

“You guys rock! Peebles (my super cute new kitten) and I were looking for a new cat condo climber lounge thingy and found Caboodle online. I used to have a carpet one for my (R.I.P) Seymour (a beautiful Tabby) but he never really used it much. Your product is super cool and Peebles can’t wait to play in it! Kudos on keepin’ it green! I’ll send pix soon.”

and playing in our new Caboodle. They love it, and we are very happy
too.”

Caboodle’s Carbon Pawprint

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Caboodle is made in the USA at a factory that manufactures corrugated paper, creating a relatively tiny carbon footprint when compared to a product made in China or even out of state. The reality is, we don’t need to fly half way around the globe or even jump on a plane to oversee production and ensure quality, we just make a short drive south to our manufacturing and distribution partners. Furthermore, our product does not need to make a 7000 mile journey to get to our warehouse. As a matter of fact we’ve only logged about 300 driving miles in the making of Caboodle, and the distance finished inventory traveled to our warehouse  is only a couple clicks over 15 miles.

We ran our local US operation vs. if we made the product in China on terrapass’s carbon footprint calculator and were shocked by what we discovered.

Locally made in the USA     = 3 round trips = 300 driving miles = 200 lbs of C02 emissions

If manufactured in China*  = 3 round trips = 41,484 flying miles = 18+ tons of CO2 emissions (GASP!)

*These numbers do not include shipping product to the USA and assumes that we got off the plane and held all our meetings in the Hong Kong airport

Toodles!
