desc: Why deliver phone books when we aren't even going to use them? We have our mobile devices and our computers to search with. These books are wasting trees and ink, and being thrown away so often. Yellow pages, only deliver to folks who request it, please. It would save a lot of time and trees. (not to mention ink.)

Please, it'd do a lot of good.

Um......ok? Guess I'll sign...

the whole reason their site was put up was because they could stop delivering those loving things

Every query you make to Google uses some amount of energy to perform. Once the phone book is produced and delivered the only energy it will be using is your body's to pick it up and flip through pages. So after you've made about 5.6 x 1011 searches for your neighbor's phone number the phone book actually ends up using less energy.

I really don't see how this moots the point of how many trees are being used and the amount of ink being wasted.
