Green is The Word, Act XXII

Good Friday to everyone!

With my Mom's 80th birthday coming up in a couple of
days, I thought it would be nice to dedicate this one
to her. When I tell her about EcoTimber and what we do,
she always goes on this rant about how she was the
"original recycler" in the family, recycling this,
recycling that. I've only heard the story a few dozen
times.

But the "original recycler" can't compete with the one
known as the  "High Priest". I think the name says it
all. However, I'll honor her by bringing up the topic
of recycling your telephone books properly.

Although telephone books can be reycled, they shouldn't
be mingled with other paper bound for the mill. The
paper used to make them is thin and manufactured from
very short fibers which aren't easily repurposed at
conventional recycling plants. Call your phone company
or municipal government to find local drop-off points
that will transport the books to their reincarnation-
as phone books. For those who have AT&T, their number
is (800) 288-2020.
So what are you waiting for?  Call them. Now.

And while you're at it, call your mother too.


"I would feel more optimistic about a bright future
for man if he spent less time proving that he can
outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and
respecting her seniority."
                         -E.B. White
