Geoff Neal is campaigning to reduce unwanted Yellow Book deliveries, such as this one, photographed in April.
An environmentally conscious business consultant is calling for a rethink from Yellow, describing its annual phone book drop as a “crazy amount of waste”. Small business adviser Geoff Neal is campaigning for the company to, at least, be opt-in, instead of opt-out. “I’m just a citizen who’s just had enough . I’m seeing them in the trash all around the place and I know lots of people just throw them out as soon as they get them,” he said.

Marlborough s wine industry is booming, but there s no industrial-sized solution to deal with its waste.
Sewage fungus is not what the wine industry wants people to think of when they sip a sauvignon blanc.
It was also something I wanted to avoid.
But like Marlborough s wine industry, I had a problem on my hands. I had more grape marc than what I knew what to do with.
Grape marc - or pomace - is the soggy leftover product of wine making. It s the skins, seeds and stalks of the grapes after most of the juice has been squished out of them. Roughly 20 percent of each harvested tonne of grapes end up as grape marc.
