Planet Buzz About Phonebook, Trees And What We Can Do It seems that all you hear lately in the World report is economic stimulus. Well, according to the National Arbor Day Foundation - Trees can be a stimulus to economic development, attracting new business and tourism. Commercial retail areas are more attractive to shoppers, apartments rent more quickly, tenants stay longer, and space in a wooded setting is more valuable to sell or rent. It's also said that a tree, over a 50-year period, will generate $31,250 worth of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, and recycle $37,500 worth of water. Trees can keep us cooler in the summer and save us ten million dollars a year in energy costs. Trees also clean up air pollutants and save us millions in air pollution cleanup. Trees also can also save us millions of dollars annually in storm water runoff costs; four hundred trees can capture as much as 140,000 gallons of rainwater each year. USDA Forest Service states, the planting of trees means improved water quality, resulting in less runoff and erosion. This allows more recharging of the ground water supply. Wooded areas help prevent the transport of sediment and chemicals into streams. We are harvesting 24 million metric tons of trees for paper production each Year. According to one estimate, the average tree weighs 680 kg, or 0.68 tons. So this means that an estimated 16.32 million trees are harvested for paper production in the US each year. One of the largest wasteful paper products is the phone directory. It is reported that Manhattan directory alone passed the one million mark in 1921. Within five years, it grew six fold again and required a corps of 500 deliverymen, more than 500 rail-car loads of paper, and 100 tons of binding glue. And that's just in one city. In Portland, Ore., a company that produces telephone directories tipped the scales at 10.5 pounds per pair, consumed the equivalent of 49,779 trees, and could be stacked nearly 12 miles high into the stratosphere. And that's just one of several directories that Portlanders receive. On a national level, the figures become mind-boggling. If we assign the not-terribly-scientific figure of just more than three pounds to the average directory, then the 615 million volumes produced last year come out to 1 million tons of phone books. Some estimate show that telephone books and yellow pages make up almost ten percent of waste at dump sites. There would be a significant impact if everyone stopped receiving phonebooks and yellow pages. What? Stop using a phonebook! How will I ever find a number or address to my local eatery or fine dining establishment? Not to worry, in today's home computing, internet environment there is a greener solution. I have discovered there are ecologically helpful and user friendly online search directories. With over twenty million business listings and growing my favorite is absolutely the best interactive business directory online. If you are concerned about our economy and our environment one way to help is to stop using and opt-out from receiving old out-dated and environmentally unfriendly phonebook yellow pages.
