So you've lightened your load, you've utilized your own linens and things to cradle your treasures, but what do you use to transport all this stuff? Conventional methods include recycled or horrors brand new cardboard boxes. Yeah, you can mitigate some of the damage to the eco-system by using boxes made from recycled materials, but how about going a step further.
How about using containers made from recycled plastic that can eventually be recycled into to new boxes, again and again and again. Obviously few of us have room to store the large number of boxes needed by the average consumer but the good news is that moving companies are starting to realize that green is good and there are a few out there ready to meet you halfway.
A good place to start is Green Movers USA. They have taken on the task of researching companies to assure that the references you get from their website are reliable; customer service oriented and have been rated as to their green level. Green Movers USA's rating system identifies those companies who are doing things in a positive way for the environment within the moving industry. These steps can be as simple as using a verifiable recycling program for their cardboard, One Tree designation, to providing a carbon offsetting program which garners a Four Tree rating.
