Having said that, I will support the opt out lobby as online phone books are the way ahead, so why can`t phone books be put online with no charge for searches, I reckon the printing costs saved would cover that. non computer users could still have their free phone book.

Please also note that this campaign is about giving people the choice. If you want a phonebook, you should have the choice to opt-in to receive one. If you don't use printed phonebooks, then you should have the choice not to have them dumped on your doorstep. Its seems an environmental and economic waste to produce phonebooks for those people that dont use them. 192.com does offer free directory enquiry searches!

The 'green' bandwagon is a very self seeking thing. Does anybody really believe that the reason the banks offer 'green' e-statements is that they care about the environment? It will be interesting to see if my comment is actually published!
