Peace Go Green

Peace Movers Inc means green, and green means Environment. We at Peace Movers not only move your things at peace, but keep the environment in mind in all phase of our day to day activities. Green moving is currently a moving trend in the moving industry. Moving practices such as disposing cardboard boxes permanently bubble wraps and others that are considered recyclables is what the company is about to change. Earth friendly moving actually means backing off from these traditional practices and this is what Peace Movers INC. aims to accomplish totally in long term.

Peace Movers Go Green tips:

Go Green Tips:

1. Don’t gather too much stuff in the first place. Less is normally better for the planet and the less stuff you move, the less gas your moving truck will burn. Green moving can also translate into more "green" for you because you’ll likely spend a lesser amount of money to move your household.

2. Buy used cardboard boxes. Moving companies usually customers use new cardboard boxes to ensure stability, which means a lot of cardboard boxes get tossed after every use. If using cardboard boxes, look for boxes made of recycled material.

3. Rent moving boxes. When packing, take advantage of companies that offer reusable packing crates, which can eliminate that waste. One such outfit that rents sturdy packing crates made of recycled plastic bottles is California-based Earth Friendly Moving. The company drops off the crates before you move and picks them up afterward in its fleet of bio-diesel trucks. Another company is Rent-A-Crate, a nationwide firm that offers moving crates made of recyclable high density polypropylene.

4. Cut back on the bubble wrap. You can use old newspapers for non-fragile items, or even old sheets or towels as packing material. These weigh more and don’t offer as much benefit as the lighter bubble wrap, but anything you can do to cut back helps.

5. Look for environment friendly cleaning products when moving out. Seventh Generation is a national brand of cleaning products that makes toilet bowl cleaners, dishwashing powder and carpet cleaners. These products can be found at many large discount chains such as Target.

6. Hire moving companies that tout environmentally friendly attributes. One such firm is Go Green Moving, which owns bio-diesel trucks, uses moving pads made of 100% recycled cotton and rents packing crates.

7. Ask that a company employ eco-friendly practices, especially if it doesn't. If moving companies believe that consumers are demanding environmentally friendly moves, the moving industry will feel obligated to adopt green moving methods.

 

Green Tips After Moving Into Your New Home

Finally, after you’ve moved in to your new home, it’s a good time to think about other ways you can leave less of an environmental footprint.

1. You can stop junk mail by registering with the Mail Preference Service at the Direct Marketing Association. It won’t stop all the stuff you get daily in your mail, but it will help to reduce a large portion of unwanted paper.

2. Set up a recycling center in your new kitchen where it’s easy and handy to separate paper from plastic recyclables. Making recycling easy to do ensures that you’ll be more likely to do it.

3. Think before buying. When shopping for a non-essential item, ask yourself a simple question: When you want to move again, will you like the idea of moving it?

4. Reduce your belongings by recycling or donating an item when you bring a similar item
