Helping cut back on wasteful moving materials like cardboard boxes, wadded-up newspaper, bubble wrap and packing peanuts, Earth Friendly Moving offers clients sustainable alternatives to the traditional (and wasteful) moving gear. You pack, stack and move their reusable gear; when you're done unpacking them, call 'em up and they come get the empty boxes and such and pass them along to another earth-friendly mover. Just in southern California for now, they have plans to expand across the country in the next couple years. [Earth Friendly Moving]
