Greeting Card Publisher, Gallery Collection, Announces Wind Power Commitment

Posted on: Wednesday, 8 August 2007, 12:09 CDT

The Gallery Collection, the leading business Christmas card and holiday card publisher, announces its 2007 commitment to wind power energy. This commitment reflects the company's greeting card stock and envelope stock, which are manufactured in mills that are fully powered by wind-generated electricity.

"We are trying to do the right thing for our planet," declared H.L. DeVore, Chief Marketing Officer of Prudent Publishing. "We want to conduct our business in a fashion that minimally impacts the environment and makes good economic sense."

The Gallery Collection's commitment to wind power actually began in 2006, but the company made the decision to stay quiet and see how the political and economic landscape developed for "green corporate behavior." DeVore admits to some reluctance about making the move to wind power, stating: "It seems there are always people looking to criticize you for not going far enough." He further comments, "These critics hurt the world and make people reluctant to do their small part. Green should not be about extremes. Green should not be a political issue. We are trying to do our small part to help the environment and send energy dollars into friendlier hands."

The Gallery Collection plans to continue its partnership with wind-powered paper mills as the company increases its utilization of low-impact resources that are environmentally sound.

Unlike fossil fuels, which produce toxic atmospheric and greenhouse gas emissions, wind power has zero emissions. As part of the growing trend of renewable energy, global wind power generation quadrupled between 2000 and 2006 and has the potential to power 25 million U.S. households by 2020, equaling about 64.8 million people or 20% of the population.

Currently, The Gallery Collection has 163 Christmas, holiday, all occasion, and birthday greeting cards, all of which are produced in wind-powered paper mills. Additionally, 100% of The Gallery Collection's envelopes are made with green wind power.
