If you're one of the 40 million Americans who move every year, here are some solutions to make your next move more eco-friendly.
Plan ahead
Have you ever waited until the last minute to pack for a trip, only to take half of your wardrobe along for the ride? Well, packing up to move at the last minute is like that, but to the extreme. You'll discover things you haven't seen since your last moving day, so don't wait until the van is on the way to address your excess stuff.
If you start packing a few weeks in advance, you'll have time to get rid of things you really don't need. Be realistic: If you haven't worn a pair of jeans since the summer after college graduation, it's probably time to part with them. Have a yard sale or donate extra belongings to a charity. You'll use less fuel if you transport only the things you actually use.
