Aah, those phone books

Yes, it bothers me big‑time. It has for years. But please don’t throw them in the trash. In past years, I’ve picked them up after two or three weeks and taken them to recycling. There were many hundreds of them there, if not thousands.

Well, I will not take them there anymore. If I do pick them up again, they will end up in front of their door. Anybody with me?

Don’t these people know by now that they are printing at least three times as many books as need or want? If this goes on all over the city and suburbs, maybe the whole country, can we put a number on all the trees that are wasted? Don’t these companies feel any responsibility for what they are doing?

Please, whatever you do, recycle.
