Nancy Reyering and six other volunteers from Woodside and Portola Valley made a delivery to the Restoration Hardware store in Palo Alto last week that they hope might send a message to the home furnishings store's corporate headquarters.
Using two pickup trucks and four hand trucks, the volunteers returned nearly one ton of the catalogs the company recently shipped to local residents, protesting the waste the unwanted catalogs represent.
Via UPS, Restoration Hardware has been delivering to each home a bundle of as many as 13 large catalogs, wrapped in plastic and weighing up to 17 pounds.
With the catalog drop-off at the Palo Alto store, Ms. Reyering included a letter asking the corporation to "consider taking a stand as the first truly 'green' retailer by eliminating the printing and mailing of any catalogs."
Ms. Reyering who in 2013 was named an "Environmental Champion" by Woodside's Sustainability and Conservation Committee, wrote that "the most environmentally friendly approach, by far, is not to create and ship these unnecessary, unwanted, and wasteful catalogs."
She also has sent the company a spread sheet with the names of more than 120 people who want to be taken off Restoration Hardware's mailing list.
After the volunteers began bringing stacks of catalogs through the store's front entrance, store employees quickly asked the volunteers to move the rest of their delivery to the store's back door. At least four employees with handcarts immediately hustled the stacks of catalogs out of sight.
Employees handed out fliers with what appears to be the company's pre-printed response to complaints about the environmental effect of the catalog deliveries.
"Heavier load = lighter carbon footprint," the fliers say. "Our 13 source books now come to you just once a year, all together in one package. Combined with our carbon-neutral shipping practices and our responsibly sourced paper, that adds up to a significantly reduced impact on the environment."
Ms. Reyering and the other volunteers Peter Marsden, Lauren Mang, Erin Broderick and Seldy Nelson from Woodside and Brad Peyton and Laura Stec from Portola Valley were not buying the explanation.

Commercial Roofing | Appleton, WI -- Motto & Sons Construction - Video
June 24, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL) Greenville Road Warriors Greenville, SC: Today the Greenville Road Warriors, proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, announced the first two signings of the offseason with the additions of forwards Chad Nehring and Michael Catenacci.
"Chad is the type of player who can play a solid two-way game and has incredible face-off skills," Road Warriors Head Coach Dean Stork commented. "He leads by example with his relentless work ethic and physical presence in the corners and in front of the net. It is not easy to find this a player who has both great scoring touch and a willingness to do what it takes to stand up for his teammates. We are excited to add a player of Chad's caliber to the Road Warriors family."
Nehring, 27, led the Las Vegas Wranglers with 22 goals in only 49 games last season. The Springside, Saskatoon native also collected 20 assists ranking him second on the team in points. Nehring's professional career began with the Idaho Steelheads for one full season in 2011-12. He moved on to play in the CHL with the Arizona Sundogs in 2012-13 for 66 games and led the team with 33 goals and 57 points. The Lake Superior State University product played 147 collegiate games with the Lakers from 2007-2011 posting 30 goals and 23 assists.
"Michael is a talented centerman who sees the ice very well and knows how to find the open area," Stork continued. "His shiftiness makes it hard to steal the puck from him. He is a threat every time he enters the offensive zone. We anticipate him stepping in and being a great addition to the Road Warriors' offensive game."
Catenacci split last season between the Orlando Solar Bears and Vipiteno, a team in the Italian Elite League. While with the Solar Bears, the 23-year-old scored five goals and amassed 17 assists in 32 games. Catenacci played 234 games with the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL from 2008-2012. He totaled 64 goals and 108 assists during the four year stint but his most impressive season came in the final year when he finished second in scoring with 69 points in just 52 games. Catenacci was born in Woodbridge, Ontario.

Road Warriors Sign Two Offensive Threats to Begin Summer Signings
2014 is about half over, and the Amazon team has already chosen their top 10 books of the year so far, just in time for you to make a few additions to your summer reading list before the avalanche of prestige titles hits in the fall. There are already books here that will likely make plenty of top 10 lists at the end of the year, including Redeployment by Phil Klay, as well as some books that should have been a bigger deal: Red Rising by Pierce Brown, anyone?
In case youre wondering, none of the books in Amazons top 10 is a Hachette title, although a few made the top 20: To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris (#11), The Fever by Megan Abbott (#14), and Those Who Wish Me Dead by Michael Koryta (#19). See below for Amazons list:
1. Updike by Adam Begley: This biography of the American master goes far beyond simple chronology of this complex (and often paradoxical) character, layering on the lit crit where his real life bled into his novels. Detailed and compulsively readable, Updike is essential for admirers, and illuminating for anyone with an interest in literature. 2. The Book of Unknown Americans: A novel by Cristina Henrquez: Henrquezs powerful novel captures readers with the quiet beauty of her characters and their profoundly rendered experiences as immigrants in America. Following nine families who arrived in the States from South and Central America, Henriquez has crafted a novel that is inspiring, tragic, brave, and unforgettable. 3. Redeployment by Phil Klay: The strength of Klays stories, all about the Iraq War or its aftermath, lies in his unflinching, un-PC point of view, even for the soldiers he so clearly identifies with and admires. These stories are at least partly autobiographical, and yet, for all their verisimilitude, theyre also shaped by an undefinable thing called art. 4. Euphoria by Lily King: Loosely based on the life of the anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is both romantic and intelligent. It is the best kind of historical novelthe kind that will send readers running to learn more about its real-life inspiration. 5. No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State by Glenn Greenwald: Both a tense account of Greenwalds cloak-and dagger encounters with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and a blistering commentary on surveillance in a free society, No Place to Hide is thrilling and enlightening, a bellwether moment in a crucial debate. 6. In Paradise: A Novel by Peter Matthiessen: Three-time National Book Award winner Matthiessen set his final story in a mid-90s spiritual retreat at Auschwitz, exploring the sadness, horror, and absurdityand even occasional joythat accompany it. The result is a novel that is as profound as anything the late author had ever written. 7. The Invention of Wings: A Novel by Sue Monk Kidd: In the early 1830s, the Grimk sisters were the most infamous women in America for speaking out in favor of liberty and equality and for African American slaves and women. Monk Kidd brings Hetty and Sara to life in a powerful novel that spans decades, vividly imagining the Grimk sisters courageous trials and personal transformations. 8. Red Rising by Pierce Brown: Pulsing with nonstop action, surprising twists, and unforgettable characters, Browns debutand the first book of a projected trilogysets its tale of struggle and revolution in the desolation of Mars, tackling the large questions of fate and loyalty in brutal and heartfelt turns. 9. Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefellers Tragic Quest for Primitive Art by Carl Hoffman: Was the scion of an American billionaire eaten by cannibals in New Guinea? Award-winning journalist Hoffman steps into Michael Rockefellers boots to investigate his 1961 disappearance, and succeeds in both solving the puzzle and spinning an engrossing tale of adventure. 10. Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs: Continuing the story that mesmerized readers in Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, Riggs packs Hollow City with more eerie vintage photographs, and like a seasoned magician, seamlessly incorporates them into a remarkableand totally originalfeat of imagination.
