Laura, a supereco follower from Mohegan Lake, NY, asks:
Is there something I can do about the 547 (and counting) phone books I've collected? It makes me sad to think of all the yellow and white trees that are killed.Yes, Laura, there is...
Just a couple of months back I recall getting an Ideal Bite tip with the answer to this exact question.
To stop receiving phone books, register at yellowpagesGoesGreen.org. A note to city dwellers: in that big ol' pile of yellow pages stacked up in your building lobby is a phone book with your name on it, help make the pile smaller by registering and then telling your neighbors.
To recycle those behemoths, check out Earth911 (or just put them with your paper recycling)
