22.Mar.2010 Want to reduce waste? Stop phonebooks!

In the news today is the Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) workshop being hosted by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, at City Hall. Representatives from 30 countries around the world will share ideas about minimising rubbish and recycling.

Well we have a very simple, low impact idea that will save at least 40,000 tonnes of waste across the UK every year (not to mention £3m of council funds). Let’s move to an opt-in system for phonebooks sooner rather than later (because either way, you know it will happen eventually) and send phonebooks on their way with the cheque book!

You have only 7 days left to sign the ‘Say No To Phonebooks’ epetition. If  you haven’t done so already, sign it now: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/NoPhonebooks/
