Cardboard Boxes

Since we damaged our environment we started focusing on how to help slow down the damage to our environment. One thing that we could do is starting using cardboard boxes as opposed to plastic moving boxes or wooden crates. Off course producing cardboard boxes is bad for the environment, but in the long term cardboard boxes can reduce the damage that we cause to the environment instead of the other materials commonly used to make moving boxes.

It takes a couple trees to make these boxes, but we can re-use them a lot of the time and if they have come to the end then they can be recycled Wooden boxes take a lot more trees to be produced and they could last longer, but wooden boxes are hard to maintain and take up a lot of storage space. Plastic boxes are made from oil, and we have a gigantic oil shortage in the world. When we produce oil, we also produce a lot of bad gasses that cause a larger hole in our ozone layer. In Conclusion, when moving home try and use cardboard packing boxes as opposed to plastic or metal boxes.
