When was the last time you used a printed phonebook for looking up a person or business? Have you even taken the most recent phonebook out of the plastic?

Brits spend on average around ¬£60 a year on Christmas decorations. 192.com and the ‛Say No To Phonebooks' campaign have teamed up with origami expert, Mark Bolitho, to provide three easy to follow guides that make use of those unwanted phonebooks by creating origami Christmas Tree, Star and Angel decorations.

To download the instructions, watch the videos and for more information on the campaign visit - www.saynotophonebooks.org

So don't just throw your useless phonebooks away! Why not get the kids involved and make something fun this festive season.

Over 75 million printed phonebooks are produced and delivered in the UK every year. That's 62,000 tons of unwanted waste!

Did you know that the annual production of phonebooks squanders:

• Enough electricity to power 59,000 homes for a year
• 680,000 barrels of oil (the annual consumption of 67,000 people)
• Two billion litres of water, enough to fill 800 Olympic swimming pools
• ¬£7.5 million of council waste management budget

The production and recycling process for 62,000 tons of phonebooks equates to 79,360 metric tonnes of wasted carbon emissions!

Make a stand against this unnecessary waste of resources and sign the petition supporting a centralised opt-in system for phonebooks. The petition already has over 6700 signatures with that number growing daily.- http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/NoPhonebooks/
