Over 500 million phone books are produced and delivered to our doorsteps every year.  To produce these 500 million books:

• 19 million trees need to be harvested
• 1.6 billion pounds of paper are wasted
• 7.2 million barrels of oil are misspent in their processing (not including the wasted gas used for their delivery to your doorstep)
• 268,000 cubic yards of landfill are taken up
• 3.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity are squandered

Who actually uses a phone book these days when everything is at your fingertips via the web? Reduce your carbon footprint by opting out of phone book delivery to your home or office.
