What are these "Yellow Pages" you speak of. I know of google, yahoo, and the internet...

Seriously speaking though, I don't think I've used the yellow pages since 1993. when I was 9.

I appreciate the intention here, but it would be REALLY nice if they stopped delivering yellow pages to people who have not requested them. It's a ridiculous waste of paper.

The last batch (200) of delivered phone books in my building ended up in the dumpster after few days.

Yes, I agree the Yellow Pages are a complete waste paper. Last year when they were delivered kids in my neighborhood ripped them up and threw them out on the sidewalk leaving the streets full of yellow paper trash for weeks.

I don't think we're disagreeing with each other... but every single one of those things you listed is also wasteful and unnecessary.

I can agree with that, no request no delivery.. But its no more waste then paper towels, paper napkins, paper bags, newsweek and the weekly world news.
