Opting Out of the Yellow Pages Book - An EcoFriendly Step into the Digital Era

In a step closer to full modernization, The Yellow Pages books are now offering consumers the option of opting out of receiving Yellow Pages Books delivered to your home, a move that many are happy about. For many, the physical copy of the Yellow Pages is bulky, dated, and hard to use – especially with the advent of internet services and search engines. The books offer limited information, and are out of date very quickly with so many new businesses opening every day, it’s almost impossible for print to keep up with the changing landscape of local shops and businesses.

In light of these changes, and the environmental concerns surrounding sending every household a book consisting of hundreds of pages, the Yellow Pages not lets consumers opt-out of home delivery – a step that environmentalists and consumers alike are glad to see. You too can make the step into the digital world by visiting YellowPagesOptOut.com, and cancelling your Yellow Pages Book subscription. In addition to being environmentally friendly, using online directory tools such as Long Island Yellow Pages instead of traditional printed copies of Yellow Pages offers consumers more information that is more accurate, and up-to-date.

Also, but utilizing online Yellow Page resources, you can refine your search, and save yourself the hassle of thumbing through pages of businesses that aren’t nearby, or what you’re really looking for. USA Today cites a 2010 survey that says that 60% of adults polled that have internet access don’t use their paper copy of the phone book, while only 22% recycle the unused book – a staggering statistic not only because of the environmental impact that the wastefulness surely causes, but also because of the unnecessary tax burden that recycling the unused books creates (Click here for the USA Today article).

If you do not use your printed copy of the Yellow Pages or you no longer wish to receive it, then make sure to head over to YellowPagesOptOut.com to stop receiving the book. By making the switch over to digital directory listings, you’ll be saving yourself time and effort, and helping to preserve the environment by limiting the creation of unnecessary waste.
