I love this blog, it is full of some great tips. I am currently in the process of moving, and it is less than fun to say the least.

My favorite tip was the garage sale. I got rid of a bunch of stuff and got some money too! Everything that was left over I gave to a great local thrift store called Out of the Closet. They donate proceeds to the Aids Foundation.

Anyway, after that I had to start packing. Boooo I came across the earth-friendly moving and was soooo excited. The company recycles plastic bottles and the makes them into earth-friendly moving tubs called the recopack. They even make some weird paper stuff that looked odd from the picture, but it was earth-friendly so I was willing to give it a try. The problem was that I am moving a huge house, and I am starting about a month and a half early. Not only that, but a significant portion is going into storage for a long while. After calculating a buck a box a week, and the delivery and pick up fees, it just was too insane.

I tried finding boxes on Craigslist and driving around to grocery stores for about three days until I was just so frustrated I decided to buy boxes from UHaul. But that was just as expensive. I ended up googling used boxes and came up with Usedcardboardboxes.com. It worked out beautifully as it was earth-friendly, cheap and fast. Not to mention the fact that I didnt have to go anywhere. I live in L.A. so the boxes were delivered the next day without a hitch. The only issue was that the tape dispenser that came in my kit was bent and unusable. That was a little disappointing. But I called them and they refunded it right away so no harm no foul.

Now my next step is setting up the actual moving company. Does anyone no what this go green moving place costs or has anyone used it that could give me a customer experience. I am willing to pay a bit more for an earth-friendly service, but don’t want to have to sell my children for it

Thanks in advance,
