Department of Transportation. Eco-Friendly
· Green Van Lines uses boxes and packing supplies made from recycled materials on all of our long distance moves. Even the bubble wrap we use is made from recycled materials!
· Green Van Lines offers special reusable plastic crates in place of cardboard boxes on our local Texas moves. Reusable plastic crates will be available for long di
stance moves in the near future.
· Green Van Lines uses special Bio-Diesel certified engines that burn cleaner fuel for our environment. We are working hard to convert as many trucks as possible and recently purchased hybrid vehicles for company use and on-site inspections.
· Green Van Lines plants trees with “Trees for the Future” (www.TreesFTF.org) for every move we conduct. Planting trees absorbs dangerous carbons and produces enough oxygen to support a family of four for an entire year!
· Green Van Lines eliminates the use of paper waste and incorporate electronic communication wherever possible. Our work orders can be signed electronically and our estimators even use electronic devices to record inventory and other information!
· Green Van Lines movers wear organic cotton uniforms so “we’re green right down to the shirt on our backs!”. Additionally, many of our moving blankets and pads are made from organic cottons.
· Green Van Lines is always exploring the possibility of alternate clean burning fuels and other unique operating practices. We contribute both physically and financially to the daily fight for eliminating carbon emissions and the development of alternate energy sources.
· Green Van Lines promotes other Green organizations (like www.stopgolbalwarming.org on many of our quotes and communications). We believe strongly that one person or one company can make a difference!
· Green Van Lines is a member of the Green Movers USA, a network of eco-friendly moving companies working together to change the moving industry. With a network of eco-friendly movers, we can learn from one another and greatly increase our efforts.
· Green Van Lines also reaches out and provides assistance to moving companies who wish to convert outdated wasteful practices to greener methods. Single handedly, we can make a drastic difference. Through strength in numbers, there is no limit to how much we can change the industry and protect the environment on a global level!
