Say No to Phonebooks

Not producing useless phonebooks saves on State governmement waste. Nobody is using phonebooks with the internet and mobile apps.

a very biased view - let's face it put together by a company only offering an online service. Many people and businesses rely on the phone book (particularly Yellow Pages) to promote their business - i would challenge people to try a search google vs yellow pages - bet you find the book is quicker (from a standing start in your living room) - have tried it and I was shocked how much more efficient the book is and I'm a tech lover!

A very one sided opinion, ime wondering what it cost to fire up a p.c keep it running to find a number shut it down again and then scrap it at the end of its day.

Although the idea of ending phone book production is noble (reducing waste and saving energy etc) we cant forget the many people who do not have computers, or other means of finding contact info for people, businesses and services. Perhaps if they were produced 'to order' instead of an estimmated demand at least a cut back in the figures quoted would be achieved whilst still serving those who cant Google...

I approve of this campaign as I always put any phonebook that arrives at my place straight in the bin. Us modern people use Google or other online directories.

Brilliant
