Limit your ecological footprint during the move
Moving can be an important time in terms of the environment. However, there are several ways to reduce your ecological footprint during this period in order to preserve the environment. Here are some tips to reduce your ecological footprint during a move :
Sort
Before you move, take the time to sort through your belongings and get rid of what you no longer need. Items that are still in good condition can be donated to associations or sold online. In addition, by sorting you avoid overloading the moving vehicle and thus consuming more fuel than necessary.
Pack in an environmentally friendly way
Avoid using disposable packaging materials and opt for sustainable solutions such as reusable boxes, cloth bags or blankets. You can also use newspapers or magazines to protect fragile items.
Rent a truck or eco-friendly car
If you need to rent a truck or car for your move, choose an environmentally friendly option that uses cleaner fuels or is electric. With Muter Loger, choose an environmentally responsible mover by automatically calculating the carbon footprint of your move.
Avoid wasting energy
While moving, turn off lights and electronics when not in use. Also try to move during the day to avoid using artificial lights.
Donate your boxes after the move
If you have chosen to use cardboard, don’t hesitate to give it to an association or recycle it after your move.
By following these simple tips, you can limit your ecological footprint during your move and help preserve the environment.
