The New Phone Book is Here! The New Phone Book is Here!

Taking a cue from the quote in Steve Martin's The Jerk, "here" is actually our recycling container.

Can you believe in this age of dwindling natural resources and internet based information, that we get dumped on our door step at least 7 different phonebooks, a pile 22 inches high? I've not flipped trough a paper phone book in 4 years.

The waste is shameful and stupid.

It's madness I agree. The instructions for my orange recycling bags specifically exclude Yellow Pages so they go straight into the landfill or incinerator instead.

Hey, I just discovered that here in Norway we can sign up to NOT receive phone books - I blogged that and got a link to this excellent picture in a comment. Yes, exactly!
