I’ve Not Used a Phone Book Since 1997

Saw this at [GAS] and had to repost. Everyone who reads this blog knows I’m not an environmentalist by any stretch of the imagination. But yeah, the Yellow Pages is an idea that someone needs to cram a dagger into its ugly yellow heart.

I don’t even have a hard wired phone. And still I get one of these stupid 13 pound books (two of them for Fairfax County) every year. I move them from the curbside dropoff to the curbside pickup for trash.

Still want to create the yellow pages? Make them subscription based. Charge the end users for their manufacture and delivery. Just please stop dropping these stupid things off at my house.
