It's a petition demanding an opt out system be established. A good thing, if you believe that online petitions have any weight, but not the same as other opt out systems like the DMA and the credit bureaus have. If only there were a real opt out... I only need one of these things to prop up my monitor, but they keep dropping them off!

Once we cancelled the land line - poof! no more paper phone books to clog up the recycling bin. Now what do I use for booster seats & step stools? ;) My Husband and I use our cell phones as our home phones.

This organization will contact the publishers and inform them to stop delivering books. This is a free service for consumers. www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is working with state and local governments on ordinances concerning the delivery of unsolicited telephone books. www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is not against the telephone books but against the delivery of 4 to 5 pounds of paper on people’s door step 5 to 6 times per year and being told it is our responsibility to recycle something we did not ask for. If we need a book we will call. Otherwise I “opt out” from receiving it Consumers can now “opt out” of receiving telephone books at http://www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org.
