Storage and moving explored
How can you pack your moving storage container while still going green? Moving boxes, a prime source of waste, are the place where a little effort on your part can make the biggest impact on the environment. Rather than giving in to the temptation of convenience and buying a stack of new boxes from the moving company, check Freecycle, Craigslist, and other classifieds sections in your area for used boxes that people are giving away for free or for cheap. Even a small population center will have more boxes available than you will ever need, so place some calls, do a little extra driving, and stock up. The only boxes you will need to buy are specialty boxes like picture boxes and glassware boxes. (However, note that this is not recommended in areas with a lot of cockroaches or bedbugs.
