SMALL CHANGES ADD UP

If 10,000 NY Biters each buy twelve 100% recycled-paper greeting cards instead of regular ones, we'll save enough oil to fuel a Toyota Prius Hybrid from NYC to LA eight times.

COCKTAIL FACT

More billionaires are Virgos than any other sign.

Nice Hooters

The Bite:

Rarely impressed with an eye-popping set? Ogle the cards from Screech Owl Design before passing judgement. These rustic notecards, post cards, and boxed sets feature earth-toned, whimsical (but not too cutsey) animal art created by the company's hubby and wife owners. Each piece is made from 100% post-consumer paper and printed with water-based, VOC-free soy ink instead of the standard petroleum-based kind. Check out the Zodiac cards, which give a contemporary twist to traditional signs - Aquarius's water and air associations, for example, depict a bucket and butterflies - and make great personalized b-day cards. (We're using the box they came in for our Lulu Frost bling.) They won't be able to stop staring.

Wanna Try?

Screech Owl Design, available online or at Greenwich Letterpress, 39 Christopher St. at Grove St. (718-702-7556). Zodiac Box Set, $25/12 cards.
