We got our annual phone book delivery from Dex on Saturday and were reminded that Councilmember Mike O’Brien is proposing ways to eliminate those pounds of paper from the waste stream (even if they are recycled, there is still a high cost in that process). He’s collecting unwanted phone books at his office to make the point visually.
Here’s an overview of the issue from KING 5:
A staffer at O’Brien’s office said that he’s meeting with a Dex lobbyist tomorrow, and people are welcome to drop off books until tomorrow at O’Brien’s office on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 600 4th Ave. Just give any books to the receptionist.
