Great news for anyone guilt-stricken after dumping the Christmas tree off at the curb; Charlotte is benefitting off of the discarded holiday foliage. Your Charlotte area relocation professionals recently learned of Compost Central; a local enterprise fund which will grind up more than forty thousand trees this month, saving space in landfills, and bringing in more revenue than you may be able to believe. Bringing in more than two million dollars in revenue last year, Compost Central is more than well-funded to provide the much-needed service to our city; what’s even better is that, as an enterprise fund, Compost Central does not rely on a single penny of taxpayer funding. Part of the local Charlotte organization’s income is earned through fees charged to individuals who utilize the tree-removal service. The mulch produced from the ground-up trees is sold and brings in another large hunk of Compost Central’s revenue. Your professional Charlotte moving experts like to call this a “win-win scenario,” and it shouldn’t be very difficult to understand why!

I recall vividly a cartoon I saw multiple times as a child entitled “The House of Tomorrow.” As the vintage cartoon’s title suggests, the program conceptualized future technologies that would supposedly be household standards in the future. As a kid I sat agape in front of the TV imagining how incredible it would be to have these things in MY house. I don’t know what is more impressive; the fact that some of these amazing items are actually in existence now, or the idea that the show’s creator actually thought the gadgets up to begin with!
Technology as we know it is growing by leaps and bounds these days. I would love to see the equivalent of “The House of Tomorrow” cartoon if it were to come out and air today! What a thought! For now though, it is highly exciting to see these new products come out of the woodworks and slowly make their way into our homes. I’ve browsed high-tech products while surfing the internet here and there; just a little wishful thinking. I’ve come across some out-of-this-world products that I’d love to try out. For example; I’ve read about a smart bed that is soon to be seen in hotels around the world. Yes, a smart bed! The bed is a canopy-like enclosure that operates off of a network in order to satisfy your taste in movies, music, etc; you arrive in town and check in to a hotel room you’ve never been to and the bed makes you feel more at home than you ever have while out of town. It doesn’t take much web-surfing to fill your future wish list to capacity!
As a professional Charlotte mover, yours truly has the golden privilege to see the top of the line in-home technologies rather often as we see the insides of hundreds of homes a week. 3D televisions, finger print operated door locks, tankless water heaters, elaborate home theatres; sometimes being a Charlotte area mover feels almost like being a state-of-the-art-products tester! What an awesome job!

Moving your home requires the use of resources. We’re human, just about everything we do requires us to consume natural resources. There is not a lot we can do to avoid using natural resources all together; but we can do our part to be more environmentally friendly in our day-to-day life so that our much-needed resources will last. When moving locally in Charlotte, your professional movers are devoted to getting the job done no matter what requirements you have. As moving is an everyday thing for your Charlotte movers; there is advice that we can offer so that your move is as environmentally friendly as possible.

• Certain materials are needed in order to pack your belongings and protect your furniture during your Charlotte move. Your mover stocks the moving truck with cardboard boxes before each move so that if needed we can box up items that are yet to be packed away for transport. It is our job as a moving company to be over prepared so that your move is a smooth painless experience. You can do your part to be green by providing your own packing containers. Stocking up on boxes in advance of your move or even utilizing plastic tubs or totes is an excellent way to cut back on extra material. Furthermore; by re-using older boxes or utilizing other non-disposable containers, you’re going to be saving money on your move as well.
• Moving is often a golden opportunity to rid your home of items you no longer care for or use. If you have unwanted clothing in the attic or old furniture which you no longer desire to have in your home, dispose of these belongings at your origin home, not at your new home. Larger loads on the moving truck burn off more fuel than smaller loads. Keep in mind also that one mans trash is another mans treasure. Rather than throwing old furniture and clothing away, you should consider donating your unwanted goods to a charitable organization such as the Salvation Army before you move.
• If you are like most, you will surely be cleaning your new home while it is empty, and cleaning your old home after your moving truck has left with the furniture that used to fill it. There are plenty environmentally-friendly cleaning products on the market today to help you accomplish this objective while staying green. You may even consider using green-friendly cleaning products from now on so that you can continue to be a benefit to the environment.

If everybody did their part to be considerate of the earth and preserving its natural resources, think how much better the world would be. A planet-wide transition isn’t going to happen over night, but doing your best to be part of the solution rather than the problem is a great start!
