Telephone Book Recycling Program - A Great way to Raise Money

The students of Palsson Elementary School are raising money by collecting old phone books. According to the Lake Cowichan Gazette, Canpages is helping out by doubling the rate:

In addition to helping save paper by recycling, it’s also a chance for the school to raise some money. The school earns 20 cents per Canpages phone book that’s recycled and 10 cents for each Telus phone book.

The CVRD contributes 10 cents for each phone book recycled, with Canpages adding another dime for each of their phone books.

This is a great idea as a fund raiser as it teaches global responsibility and conservation. Canpages is already the only phone book company in the world to be certified Carbon Neutral and they continue to be a environmentally responsible company with these types of initiatives.

I challenge you to find ways to make a global environmental impact with your small business and then send out press releases to help get the word out. If a phone book company can be environmentally responsible, so can yours.
