Happy Earth Day! Evening when moving you can do your part. Flatten and save your moving supplies. Offer them to a neighbor, friend moving, or post them to a site.

For taller plants, tape the box flaps in their upright position. This extends the height of the carton, offering more protection for the plants. I

Kitchens, bathrooms, and cabinets work well. Just remember to mark it clearly and boldly. Your car is also a great, almost foolproof safe zone if possible. You can also create a box and mark it boldly "open first" for your non immediate items. This too would be best transported in your vehicle to ensure it doesn't

On this day in 1828, Noah Webster registers The First American Dictionary for its copyright for publication. When packing books, use what is called a small carton, also referred to as a 1.5 cube or book carton. You may use smaller containers, just not bigger ones. They will become unmanageable. Make sure the box is packed firmly, as heavier boxes are used towards the bottom of the load on the truck. You may pack the books vertically, or horizontally, or both.Pack it level wit
