In order to celebrate this year Earth Day we are going GREEN! Green all the way, green like in Irish Green, like in little Green Man from Space, Green like EARTH Green. In order to do our part for the planet we redesign the whole site and optimized all scripts. Compress code and graphics as much as we can while keeping the quality.

Why changing the look of the site is green?

Small & fast site = less hard disk space, memory and data base load = less electricity required by the computer = less energy = good for the environment = GREEN.

Like our Hosting partner DreamHost, KatPath.com is now carbon-neutral and is zero carbon footprint oriented.

Following the hardware and software updates done on December we have now updated the interface itself. It’s now release 14! Yes it have been 14 different interface since the site was launched 12 years ago.

We made this website out of 100% recycled and recyclable electrons. If this site was printed it will required more then 33,000 pages. So more then 3 and a half trees where save by having this site on the web.

The update details:

Site interface and graphics are 25% smaller, 27% less database calls, site loading is 30% faster and 5% less memory is required.

Site is now compatible with 99.9% of all browsers. Using valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS Level 3.

If you have any comments or suggestions please contact us.

Removable Kitchen Sink

Does “You pack everything but the kitchen sink!” sound familiar? Well, now you can truly take it all with you now that a company called Hughie has developed a removable version.

Portable Kitchen Sink

With Green being the big trend for 2009 and into the future, Hughie of Australia has designed a cool new product to address the current water shortage down under. The award-winning Removable Kitchen Sink by Hughie is a must for today’s modern culture of conservation. Dubbed “Product of the Year 2008” the Sink works on the principle of waste-water recycling. The removable sink captures 80% of the grey water that would normally be wasted down the drain, allowing you to put it to good use in the garden or for countless other applications around the house.The eco-friendly sink is lightweight and features a sturdy handle and a versatile design that fits most any kitchen sink.

But beyond the kitchen, the portable sink also comes in handy for water conservation when bathing pets, to collect rainwater, or for use in the laundry tub or in the shower. Take it with you on your boating, fishing and camping excursions for an easy, plumbing-free way to reuse your water. The removable sink is available in a range of stylish colors, and includes an integrated plug and pourer. Topping it all off, the sink is made from environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic.

The Hughie Sink retails for $25.
