Okay, so we aren't like our cousins in Southern California, but we're still Californians!!! One thing about us all, we want to ensure that we take care of the planet that we have. Reducing our carbon footprint is important to all of us. Honestly, recycling is not only beneficial to the world we live in, but also to your pocketbook. In today's economy, this is music to our ears! So, here are a few tips that can really save the planet and your wallet.
You can spend anywhere from $100-$350 for boxes, depending on the size of your home. However, if you are able to reusable boxes, you will not only save about 60% of the total cost of boxes, but if you buy recyclable boxes, you can not transfer those boxes into something else. Use natural cleaning products! There is nothing worse than looking at the back of the bottle and having to google exactly what is in your product. From organic soaps to homemade detergent, anything is possible. Organic and enviromentally safe cleaning products can be found anywhere, even Target. Most of all, get rid of the junk!!! The less you move, the more you save! It's that simple. So, before you try to pack consider having a garage sale or make a drop off at Salvation Army. Either way, you are able to save money or make money! As well, the less you move, the less we move! The weight of the truck is then lightened and saves on gas. This lessens our dependency on petro. Just look at the money and time you'll be saving. Mother Nature will surely thank you! |
