Save a Tree — Cancel Your Phone Book

What accounts for 660,000 tons of trash a year? Phone books!!! For those of you who use phone books there are more efficient ways to look up information it is called Search Engines. I personally don’t even recall the last time I used a phone book, but I do recall visitors who have asked. So, some of us still use old yellow.

Alternatives:

• Looking for a new product or service try a search engine (kind of a duh). My preference is google.
• 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)
• www.yellow.com
• Looking for a friend or family phone number try FaceBook. Go to All Friends > Phone Book.

So, what to do with those big yellow books that collect dust? Recycle. If you have curb side recycling dump the books in your recycling bin. To cancel your phone books enter your information here YellowPagesGoesGreen.
