Happy New Year! And what better to start off the New Year, than with your home-delivered new Yellow pages - but yellow isn't the only color in these pages - for the first time ever, there is a narrow band of green pages introducing the ones to follow. Yellow pages, Ecoguide!
The Ecoguide provides an easy way to know how you can responsibly discard over 400 items in your community - hundreds of items have been classified in alphabetical order which correspond to appropriate solutions, which are either drop-off areas, munnicipal recycling programs, or businesses that take your used products. In addition to this helpful green guide, there is information on prominent certification organizations, so that we can all be more informed about what is meant by all that fancy 'green' labelling jargon. Finally, there is an easy to follow 15-step challenge that we can take to make a significant difference in reducing our impact on the environment. How many steps have you taken already? How many more are you brave enough to take?
The yellow pages reaches everyone's home, that means the information to reduce, reuse and recycle is available to all, no matter one's income, status, or access to the internet - then also, we can no longer use the excuse "I don't know how" to justify inappropriate waste management decisions. How much more of a silver plate does this information need to be served on before each one of us does our homework to do our part as ecological citizens?
Kudos to the Yellow Pages Group publication company for making 'living green' a priority to 'communicate' to the masses!
P.S. Don't forget to RECYCLE your outdated phone book :)
