· More paper for textbooks. About 540 million unsolicited phonebooks arrive at American doors annually - takes a lotta trees to make those.
· Majoring in waste reduction. Phonebooks make for about 660,000 tons of trash every year.
· Extra credit: less annoyance. Just lugging phonebooks into the house when you know you'll never use them is a pain.
Personally Speaking
None of us have used a paper phonebook since the advent of Google SMS (send a text message to 466453 with business name and zip code, and you'll get the number and address sent to you).
Wanna Try?
· YellowPagesGoesGreen - enter your info here to get your name off the mailing list.
· Earth 911 - recycle your old phonebooks (if you have curbside recycling, just toss them in there).
