Sustainable, reusable, green or environmentally friendly, these are terms that have become normal and recognizable in our society. People and companies are striving to find or create ways to be "green" in everyday activities. Moving is not an everyday activity; It happens only a handful of times for individuals and even less for businesses. To help those who are environmentally conscious to remain environmentally conscious here are a few moving tips that are "green."

The key word for moving is REUSABLE. Boxes are always available somehow or somewhere but without the ability to choose your boxes you are limited to the shape or size. An excellent alternative is a product that eco-friendly businesses have come up with that is reusable plastic boxes made from recycled materials. They are rent-able for reasonable rates and are sturdy; best of all you can say good-bye to rolls of sticky tape.

An idea for energy efficiency during the moving process is space heaters. If your move is during the colder months and you need to stay warm while loading the truck use either a space heater or garage heater. A portable heater will provide the right amount of heat and will be more energy efficient and less costly than central heat.

These are just a couple of green moving suggestions. The best idea is to research sustainable practices in life and remember to give Carey Moving & Storage a call when you're ready for a haul.
