According to the Yellow Pages Association, about 615 million phone books were distributed in the United States last year. Thats about 2 phone books for every person in the United States. Here are some facts and figures about these phone books
1. If stacked one on top of the other, the length of all these phone books would be 19000 miles. That is enough distance to move around the earth four times.
2. The weight of all these books is about 660,000 tons. Imagine all that paper and the impact of that on the environment
3. The print directory is a $14 Billion industry.
But there is a way you can stop these phone books and contribute your two cents to the fight against global warming. Visit Stop Phone Books
