@IdealBite - Ship(ping)wrecked

Are you wasting a hull lotta cardboard?

The Bite
Shipping box reuse, ahoy: Check out companies that'll hook you up with used cardboard boxes (and sites where you can list your own) for mailing or moving, so you can sink less cash and fewer trees next time you ship or move.

The Benefits
Titanic-size energy savings. Remember, it's reduce, then reuse, then recycle - reusing uses less energy than recycling.
Less wallet-wrecking. We found large, used moving boxes for free at one of our links (U-Haul sells 'em new for $3).
More trees for makeshift rafts. We cut down about 6 billion trees each year worldwide, and we're cutting faster than we replant.
Not casting it away to the dump. Cardboard makes up more solid waste in our landfills than any other type of trash.

Jen From Renewable Choice Says:  Here at RCE we reuse or recycle every box and bit of packaging from anything we have shipped to us. Personally, I also reuse every box and all packaging materials; if I can't reuse it I recycle it or post the stuff on Craigslist or Freecycle.  Like I always say: even if you can't use it, someone else can!  ~Jen
