This time, it’s about phone books.

I always feel bad when I see people throwing away the giant phone books left in front of their doors. I try to recycle mine whenever I can. I even called and opted out, but I keep getting them.

To be honest, I don’t know of many people who use phone books anymore. With smartphones and all the apps that make finding everything a snap, I think it’s a waste of time and resources to continue making these.

According to a recent survey done for WhitePages, 7 out of 10 people said they never even open their phone books anymore.
