With Bowie thankfully back in everyone's minds and the expectation of his new album next month, using "Let's Dance" as a finale felt just right."

Barbour jackets revies

I have been a big fan of Barbour for a long time. Their jackets are practical and will last forever. I own a Liddesdale and a Beaufort and ladies barbour jacket have never had any problems with regular wear and tear.

I went into the shop to purchase a liner for my barbourjacketsaleuk.biz Beaufort, (I didn't think I needed one when it was purchased, I wear tons of layers), and barbour jacket sale the sales person was very helpful. My Beaufort was purchased back in the fall of 2004, when I barbour international jacket was a fresher at university, so it has a snap liner. The sales person said that the new Beaufort changed to a zip in mens barbour jacket liner in 2006 and that they no longer carried the snap-in liner. Once inquiring, the sales person called the outlet to see if they had any, and unfortunately they didn't. Even though I could not purchase a liner, the sales associates were very helpful and kind.

I have been to this Barbour two times now: first to buy a Beaufort and then to purchase a Liddesdale.

The first time was a very good experience with a blonde mid-thirties salesmen I believe was named Scott who answered all of my questions and barbour international jacket helped me look for the right jacket and explained everything very clearly as if I didn't know a thing about Barbour. In short, very very helpful and warm. He also offered me the student discount which was nice since I had no idea there was one.

*However, they were out of the color I wanted so barbourjacketsaleuk.biz I had to settle for a dark olive.

The second time ladies barbour jacket (today) I was met by a younger brown haired man and two awkward blonde saleswomen who seemed to have nothing to do but mens barbour jacket stare obnoxiously. They were once again out of the color I wanted and so I had to have one ordered to my adress which was another hassle. The brown-haired gentleman seemed to answer every one of my questions somewhat pretentiously which was incredibly annoying. However they did not charge me for shipping since I had come to the store (that's right!).

They have to restock more frequently and need somewhat more amiable salespeople but all in all the visits were okay.

EDIT: I'm adding a star because the jacket was delivered barbour jacket sale the next day with a very kindly hand-written note thanking me for shopping at their store. Nice details like that are always appreciated.

Timberland reduces carbon emissions by 36%

The Timberland Company a leading outdoor footwear and apparel company and environmental steward, announced that it has achieved a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The company successfully reduced its emissions by 36 percent in 2009 over its 2006 baseline coming from Timberland owned and operated facilities and employee air travel. Timberland is on pace to reach its goal of a 50 percent emissions reduction by the end of 2010.

Energy Achievements
This reduction was attained primarily through increased energy efficiency at Timberland's retail locations, renewable energy procurement at its cheap timberlands shoes distribution facilities and decreases in employee air travel:

• Retail: Timberland is the first company to achieve the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Retail certification for mall-based stores. All new Timberland® stores in North America are built to LEED specifications fur timberland boots and the company achieved energy savings by installing state-of-the-art LED lighting in nearly all of its US stores.
• Distribution Facilities: By the end of 2009, Timberland sourced approximately 12 percent renewable energy globally. Timberland uses primarily solar power in its Ontario, CA, distribution center and 100 percent wind power at its Enschede, Netherlands site. In 2009 Timberland's Danville, KY, distribution center began purchasing locally-produced renewable electricity.
• Employee Air Travel: Timberland has asked employees to consider alternatives to travel and has prioritized alternative options -- including the use of black timberland boots virtual presence and Web conferencing in order to reduce the amount of air travel employees use.

"We're pleased with our energy efficiency progress, but we still have work to do to help our employees globally make further reductions and source more renewable energy. Additionally, there is a huge opportunity to make better product design decisions and engage more with our value chain to address our broader carbon footprint," said Betsy Blaisdell, Sr. Manager, Environmental Stewardship. "Timberland is committed to reducing its carbon footprint -- both in our facilities and throughout the supply chain and conducting our business in timberland store the most environmentally-responsible way. In 2009, we made improvements that we are proud of and can continue to build upon."

Moving Forward
Since a large portion of Timberland's emissions come from within the supply chain, timberland boots sale which Timberland does not directly control, an effort is underway to ensure the company is working with suppliers to help reduce those emissions. Part of that process includes reporting the size and scope of those emissions and Timberland currently reports product-related footwear factory emissions on a quarterly basis.

The company uses a three-pronged approach to further contribute to emissions reductions in its supply chain:

• Timberland uses tools like the Green Index rating system to empower product developers to choose less carbon intensive materials at the design stage of creating its products. The Green Index rating system also gives consumers information about the environmental footprint of Timberland's footwear.

Timberland Bolder CSR goals with four pillars

The Timberland Company, a leading outdoor footwear and apparel company known for its best practices in transparency and accountability, announced the company's CSR goals and forward-looking targets, which are positioned to align more strategically with its overall brand values. The updated goals and targets have been published on Timberland's newly-launched CSR communications portal, which provides a dynamic, integrated experience that informs, inspires and engages consumers around the timberland boots sale brand's CSR efforts.

Timberland's Bold CSR Goals
Timberland's refined CSR goals focus on larger issues associated with each pillar -- Climate, Product, Factories and Service. For example, the company's aspiration around its products has evolved from designing recyclable product (one area of the product lifecycle) to creating a strategy to ultimately target the entire life cycle through cradle-to-cradle innovations.

Similarly, the company's approach for compliance with its Code of Conduct has evolved from a check-list approach in factories to putting workers at the heart of the assessment process and driving changes that ensure human rights and improve fur timberland boots lives.

"We want to be cheap timberlands shoes proof positive in terms of the change we seek to influence through our business. Our updated goals now reflect this approach -- and engaging employees and communities in this work is a critical part of our objectives," said Mark Newton, Vice President of CSR for Timberland. "Our climate goal, in particular, is framed in a way that is ambitious, meaningful to consumers, and closely linked to our goal of becoming the number one outdoor brand."

Timberland's new bold goal for each of its four CSR pillars are as follows:
• CLIMATE: Protect the Outdoors
• PRODUCT: Innovate Cradle-to-Cradle
• FACTORIES: Improve Workers' Lives
• SERVICE: Engage Communities

The new goals are not just aspirational -- quantifiable performance metrics have been established for each pillar. For instance, to support Timberland's bold product goal, the brand will work to increase the percentage of renewable, organic and/or timberland store recycled materials used in its products to more than 50 percent by 2015.

"I loved drilling down into the data in the website," said Dara O'Rourke Co-Founder of GoodGuide, whose mission is to help consumers black timberland boots make purchasing decisions that reflect their preferences and values. "As a researcher, and a consumer, Timberland's site let me understand much better the company's actual environmental and social footprint, see what they are doing specifically to improve their performance (and where I think their actions may not meet the challenge), and then track them over time. I look forward to the company publishing product-level environmental scores in the near future. I think this kind of product-level transparency could be a real game-changer in the apparel and footwear industry."

New CSR Communications Platform
In addition to its new CSR goals and performance targets, Timberland has released its annual 2009-2010 performance data on the portal. The portal replaces printed CSR-related communications and will be updated quarterly, allowing visitors to view data against the company's quantifiable CSR targets associated with each pillar.
