Save Some Trees – No More Yellow Pages

By on May 1, 2006 in Tech

Craig Newmark points to a petition where you can request that your name be removed from the mailing list for the hard copy of the Yellow Pages. 540 million hard copies takes a lot of trees.

I signed up, for both the Yellow Pages and the White Pages. I haven’t used a hard copy of either in years. I don’t need one copy and I certainly don’t need multiple copies, which I seem to get every year.

    I wonder if the list will have any effect whatsoever, since a major reduction of print numbers would hurt advertising revenues. But I totally agree with the initiative: I normally get 3 different editions dropped on the driveway, from where I promptly drop them in the recycling bin :-)

    I’m assuming there is no way to get removed via the web and this solution is for those not willing to go through VRU’s to get removed.

    I have no earthly idea what this has to do with the Yellow Pages, but it’s hard to guess what it’s worth without knowing who painted it, etc. I would google the artist’s name if you know it. If not, I’d go to eBay and see what similar paintings are being sold for.
