We're working on legislation in Oregon, USA, to change over to an opt-in system for phonebooks. This means that people would have to ask for one to receive one. This change would drastically reduce the need to cut our forests which are the lungs of this planet. The legislation is located at http://www.scn.org/neighbors/beacon/pdx/hb3477.pdf

Please feel free to borrow this document and ask your State and Federal representatives to introduce similar legislation! Thanks, and happy Earth Day 2009!

1. Change to an opt-in system so people have to request a phonebook to get one

2. Reduce the need to cut trees, and make billions of pounds of paper

3. Reduce the need for recycling and landfill space for phonebooks
