Don't put all your attention on how to get every possession you have to your new home. It is a nice feeling that when you move you know you have done something good to your environment. What does this mean?
When transporting your properties to your new place, you need a van fuelled by diesel. So, to save money, energy, and to do Mother Nature a favour, see to it that you don't spend most of your time travelling. To kick off this philosophy, choose the cargo van provider which is either near your old place or your new home. And when you know you have a lot of things to move, consider renting a bigger van that can carry more things. This way, the travel times will be reduced and the amount of fuel to be used will be lessened, too.
Eco-friendly moving vans and services providers are out there. Yes, business is good to those providers that put the welfare of the environment on their priority list. The providers that promote energy-efficient means to lower the running costs of your van are your best choice. And in your part, get rid of appliances that are not energy efficient. If you have the budget, replace them all with eco-friendly appliances.
