Eco-Moving: Greenboxes!

Green moving! Rentagreenbox.

Here's a first person account from a BoingBoing.net editor who posted on GOOD.is BoingBoing.net

"It doesn’t make any sense, when over 20 percent of the American population packs and moves each year- generating massive quantities of waste, that ultimately ends up in a landfill...New or used cardboard boxes are expensive, inefficient, wasteful and really bad for our planet....rent a green box has re-invented the cardboard moving box as RECOPACK - made from 100% hard to recycle plastic trash mined from local landfills..it stands for [recycled ecological packing solution]. Available in 3 sizes and delivered direct to your door on our fleet of eco-trucks powered waste vegetable oil and bio-fuel. All you need to do is pack, stack and move. When the Recopack are empty, just call us and we’ll come over to your new place and pick them up. Sadly, though they serve "240 cities", it's all in California. But they're taking applications for francises.

While waiting, see if you can work out your own 'green moving' solutions, for your wedding, and your new home. (I remember 20 years ago that we packed with resealable rubber cartons, and then drilled holes in them for worm composters). Flashback!
