A Quick pause...

I'll be taking a quick pause on the blog while I get my move finished up. I'll be back in a couple weeks with more fun green handmade stuff!

Moving...Box 4

How can you make packing more green?

You can avoid using extra sources of padding by using linens, pillows, stuffed animals and towels as padding in your boxes. If you do need additional padding focus on using already recycled or easily recyclable sources of padding. Newspaper, already used packing materials and kraft paper are great for this. Also, boxes from liquor store can be great for packing breakables from the kitchen since many come with dividers built into the box that can easily give extra padding to things like glasses, canisters and vases.

See if you know anyone else who's moving just before you, see if they'll save their packing materials for you to use. It will save you looking for it and then disposing of it -- and it will get used one more time. You may even be able to find someone else who's moving and keep passing it on.
