Wastefulness

Last week, we got the first round of phone books that get delivered to our door annually. I thought to myself "Hey, what a great time to recycle all our old phone books!" I opened the cabinet door, and there staring at me was an accumulation of two years worth of phone books. No big deal, right? Ha! My friends, you have never lived in Dallas and received so many phone books in your life! This is what I had to deal with...




Sooooo wasteful! I understand the need for phone books...not everyone has a computer. But really, do there need to be so many? This is just from two years, maybe even only a year and a half. I signed up for some phone book opt-out thing, but they just keep rollin' in. I guess I'll just keep recycling them. It makes me sad though, to know how wasteful it is to produce this much for it to just go into the trash.
