PUBLISHER DOES THE RIGHT THING

Kudos to Rubens Fonseca of Maui EKO and Hana Steel, the County of Maui Recycling coordinator for working with AdVentures Publishing in developing a plan for recycling their phone directories.  AdVentures is willing to foot the cost of making sure their product stays out of our landfills.

These phone books will be composted and used to enrich Maui's soil.  I can't think of a better use for a product, which would otherwise be considered waste.  Now it is up to the public to think twice before throwing old phone books in their garbage cans.

Hawaii needs more companies that are willing to take responsibility for their product after the consumer is finished with it.  Everyone involved in this project deserves a big thumbs up!
