Phonebook Recycling Project
During May-July 2010 we recycled 1,590 Telephone Books. Nine faith communities participated in the Shared Earth Network Phonebook Recycling Project this year, including Catholic, Jewish Reformed and Jewish Orthodox, Episcopal, Unitarian, Baha'i, Sikh, Living Christ Lutheran, and Federated which collected the most books! This means that we saved 21,000 gallons of water, 10 cubic yards of land fill, 75 average sized trees, and electricity for an average home for 18 months!
