Here is your green tip of the week from ECO-St. Lo, your award-winning local environment group.

 Save trees!  Opt out of the Yellow Pages...

Who needs a paper phone book in the age of the Internet?

Since 2009, Yellow Pages has allowed households to opt out of receiving the print directory - just one of the exciting initiatives that has enabled them to cut paper consumption for the directory by 25% in two years.

 Quebecers can opt out all year long, online or by phone at 1-800-268-5637

At St. Lawrence,it's easy being green!
