Yellow Pages opt out

In the past year I've lived in Chicago, we've received enormous phone books at least twice. They get delivered to buildings where no one lives, can get soaked by rain and snow before getting picked up, and most seem to sit on the sidewalk for several days before ending up in the garbage. We have no need for a phone book (and apparently neither did anyone else in our building since they never brought them inside) so we recycled most of them.

Yellow Pages Goes Green is an organization committed to reducing the distribution of unwanted phone books. Ideally, the Yellow and White Pages should be delivered to people and businesses that request them. You can sign up to opt-out of the Yellow and White pages (there's still a possibility you'll get one anyways). The organization is trying to spread the word, so tell everyone you know to opt out! They won't share your information with anyone but the Yellow Pages to ask them to stop sending you phone books. It takes 30 seconds to sign up! What are you waiting for?
