The planet is devastatingly affected by the negligence of the human that inhabit it. The amount of CO2 that is pumped into the atmosphere, as well as the nature of the way that people deal with waste are combining to form a situation in which the planet can’t fit us and our detritus on it, and will slowly heat up until the human race is naught but a blip in the history of the planet. It will take millions of years for the planet to regrow to be clean and free of the pollution that humans have inflicted on it, so if you are at all conscious of the world that you live on, then hopefully you will make an effort to ensure that your move is as green as it can be. For a start, you should be sure to think about where everything that you use comes from. In many ways the nature of production and refuse in common society is the main problem that the planet faces. If you can ensure that you are not contributing to these issues then you have started well on your move towards being a conscientious member of the human race. Using recycled materials is a big part of this, and as directly as possible. Taking something and simply reusing it is even better than buying something that has been recycled, as it misses out the process of recycling that uses up a lot of power and resources. This applies mostly to the boxes that you use. Recycled packing boxes are obviously great for preventing further deforestation, but in fact, the process of pulping the old boxes and making new ones takes quite a bit of industry, which will run on fossil fuels and create a lot of CO2 emissions, not to mention all the driving and even flying that it takes to transport such things. Keep it local and green by collecting unwanted storage boxes from people who are done with them, and simply re-tape them to make them completely usable again. Be careful of removals boxes that are flimsy even after taping them up however, as these could cause damage to your items, which would be disastrous.Try to find a green removals company or man and van hire. You will no doubt understand that there is basically no way to move all of your household goods without creating CO2, as electric cars are not adapted to large loads like a removal van is. You can look into more efficient petrol vans that create a lot less emissions than diesel vans, but the best answer to this issue is to look in to carbon offsetting. This process uses a technique of neutralizing a certain amount of CO2 in order to ensure that your move does not further the damage to the o-zone layer. The precise amount of carbon that your vehicle emits will be taken form the atmosphere, leaving your with a clear conscience.When packing, avoid using bubble wrap if you can. The fact is, plastics are created using wasteful and carbon emitting methods, and they are often disposed of in an inefficient way. Many plastic end up on landfill sites as well, which are a huge blot on the natural landscape.Use the move to make your life a little greener. Use energy efficient methods in your new home, and be sure to plant a vegetable patch! Double glazing will make your heating do further, and green paints will make your house loo amazing, whilst contributing to the furthering of the planet!
