Moving to a new home or city is exciting, but it often comes with some not-so-exciting environmental consequences. From gas-guzzling moving trucks to single-use products like moving boxes and packing peanuts, the process can be far from green. 

In fact, over 25 million Americans move to a new home each year. Along the way, they waste various materials, drive repeatedly back and forth, and accumulate tons of trash. The result is an excess of waste and carbon emissions.

However, moving doesn’t have to be an environmentally damaging process. With thoughtful planning and a commitment to sustainability, you can save money, reduce stress, minimize your ecological footprint, and make your transition a more environmentally friendly, green move.

Planning a move? Before you start packing, consider decluttering your home. Decluttering before moving is the perfect way to set yourself up for a fresh start, especially if you need to downsize. Your future self will thank you, we promise.
