I wonder if you can opt out of phone books at this point. They still show up on my doorstep on a regular basis, like four different volumes. Who uses an analog phone book anymore? A monumental waste of paper. Mine go right into the recycling bin — I save one for using as scarp paper for gluing and craft and modeling projects.

Here’s a idea sent to us by Chrissy of OneCraftyPlace for turning a phone book into an office desktop organizer. You could also use this for light tools on a workbench.

    In some states, local phone service providers are required by law to provide every citizen with a physical phone book. I doubt many of these laws have been addressed in the last few years, which means that we’ll all continue to receive the phone books, like it or not.
