Phone books. You gotta love them. Tons o’ wood used to make tons of paper to be delivered to houses and immediately recycled (or thrown away). How to stop this growing menace?
I thought I’d opted out of phone book delivery last year, but just today I got “The Talking Phone Book” plopped on my front porch.
