Stop getting telephone books delivered to your home
When the yellow pages delivered a big stack of new telephone directories to my building, not one resident picked up a copy. Why would they when people use the internet or services like Google SMS (if you’re not sure what this is - keep reading- it’s awesome!)
Here is one thing you can do to help save the earth!

Register to no longer have paper telephone books be sent to your
house. You know you use the internet to look up phone numbers anyway!
and help SAVE SOME TREES!
Now about Google SMS..
Google SMS is a service you use with your cell phone. You can get information on:
weather
movie listings
directions
phone numbers
stocks
translations
currency conversion
sports
calculator
and more..
How to use it on your cell phone?:
Simply text message your search query to 466453 (”GOOGLE” on most devices) and they’ll text message back your results.
Example:
For weather: type –> weather boston
For movies: type –> movies (and your zip code)
For a phone number: type –> name of restaurant, city
Make sure you have a cell phone plans that doesn’t charge you for texts - otherwise those fees will apply.
