What I love most about our new digital nation is the ease with which we can find other people and organizations. The Yellow Pages app is a great example of that. So why, oh why, did TELUS just cut down half a rainforest and deliver them to every home and business in Calgary? A city with one of the highest Internet penetration rates in the country. Not only are they are wasteful of paper, but how much energy will be expended in their delivery and their subsequent transfer to landfills (45%) and recycling facilities (55%). Yes, I get it, some of our citizens over the age of 60 do not have access to the Internet - but at that age their eyes don't give them great access to the tiny type in the big yellow books either. There has to be a better way. This is yet another of the many things TELUS should be ashamed of. Too late this year, but there should be some kind of legislation enacted before next year's forest killing occurs.
