Any ideas on how many trees are killed each year by the yellow pages industry in the US?

Question

I receive 6 full sized Yellow Pages directories at my house each year. This seems like a terrible waste of paper. And since paper comes from trees, that means lots of trees gave their lives to go directly into my recycle bin.

Answer 1

It's RECYCLED !! Last year Waste Management alone recycled enough paper to save 40 million trees..Man, where have you been??

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

The yellow pages industry kills a lot fewer trees than the newspaper industry kills, and I heard that only 30% of the paper they use is recycled. And that's being generous. What a waste!!
