The Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) has launched a “Phonebook Opt-out Campaign” to reduce paper use. Local governments pay nearly $60 million annually to recycle or dispose of telephone directories. Unwanted phone books also pose an environmental burden: each year the industry uses an estimated 4.68 million trees worth of wood fiber, equal to 14 football fields’ worth of forest per day. Simply click on the link to Phone Book Opt-Out Toolkit to reduce paper use, lower greenhouse gas impacts, and save taxpayers money.
