I was just having this conversation with a friend yesterday:
Him: “What’s up with phone books? They’re stupid, they go straight from my doorstep to my recycling bin. I wish they’d stop sending them to me.”
Me: “I used mine to hold up my bed frame for awhile … but I agree. No one uses them anymore! They’re so bad for the environment.”
And then I open TWO emails today touting a new website for getting rid of the phoneboko delivery! The funnier one read like this:
STOP Unsolicited Phone Book Delivery
What: Cease the distribution of unnecessary phone directories to your home and/or office.
Why: Green is the new yellow.
Where: Online at yellowpagesgoesgreen.org.
… It might just be a petition, I can’t really tell. But do it either way.
