Caruso's Green Tip of the Day!

By
Real Estate Agent with Surterre Properties

 Non-biodegradable packing materials

Styrofoam packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and foam are useful during a move, but not for the environment.

To go green on your next move, try using old newspapers to wrap fragile items, and then recycle the paper when you unpack.

Wrap pieces of furniture and art with blankets to ensure they do not get damaged during the move instead of packing them in foam.

If you must use non-biodegradable packing materials, ask around to see if anyone has any from a past move to give you. Reusing is always better than buying new for the environment and your wallet.

And that's your green tip of the day!

Michael, that is a great tip. They say that birds try to ingest those peanuts and choke sometimes.

Great tips for saving money and the environment. Ask a local Realtor if they know someone who has just moved in a may wish to get rid of some boxes.
