Yellow Pages Directory Inc. Supports National "Opt-In" Movement

East Northport, NY (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

A recent event "green" network sponsored by the Long Island - Huntington chapter of Green Drinks International (greendrinks.org) was held at Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, New York June 28 Here, people interested in working towards the conservation and sustainability of our environment came together in organic snacks, wine and live music to compare notes on their efforts and find new ideas.An informal survey of the various participants revealed that few want to receive paper directories, books continue to appear on their doorstep and from there are transferred to their recycling buckets, eventually ending up clogging our landfills. Most agree on the waste of this practice, but few were aware that they could stop at least a modicum of it just by going online and opt-out of having the books delivered to their homes Most people who were actually already involved in the green movement, so their presence.

Yellow Pages Directory, Inc., Is a strong supporter of the opt-in to limit the movement of the delivery of printed telephone directories for individuals and businesses that have requested it.While the company continues to provide its users with a function for which they can choose to refuse to receive the traditional paper yellow directories simply by clicking the "Opt-Out of Print" at the top of the site and following the instructions, company realized that the enormous amount of waste and environmental damage generated by the production, delivery and disposal of these books can best be contained by following the model of San Francisco, which recently passed a law limiting the distribution of directories business telephone to homes and businesses that have "opted-in" to receive them.

In an almost unanimous vote last month, the San Francisco Supervisory Board adopted a law creating a three-year pilot program that will limit the Yellow Pages delivers books to customers or to accept in person gave the prior authorization for delivery by telephone or mail.Although the city of Seattle passed an ordinance last year to allow residents to cancel their deliveries directory by "opting out" law in San Francisco, which should take effect on 1 May 2012, is the first of its kind in the country to require "opting in", and is expected to eliminate much of the seven million pounds of waste generated annually by the directory yellow paper in the city of the bay, at a cost to taxpayers of 300 per tonne for the collection and recycling. Supervisory Board Chairman David Chiu was quick to emphasize, however, that the order of San Francisco is not a prohibition on the Yellow Pages books.Anyone who wants them can continue to ask for printed directories, and special outreach efforts will be made by the city to advise the elderly and others who may not have access to the Internet on how to move on maintaining their service Yellow Pages.
