For my final blog entry, I’ve decided to take on a task that is very relevant to this time of year: moving out. As all of us students are moving out from our dorms, we have to pack up all of our belongings and transport them back home. Many students are probably very tempted to use cardboard boxes to transport all of their clothing and books home but I want to take a different approach.
While those giant cardboard boxes can be very handy, they can only be used once of twice before becoming worn out from overuse. So, instead of using these cardboard boxes I am going to use reusable storage bins that my family already owns so that I don’t have to produce any unnecessary waste in the process of moving out of college.
With statistics such as “99% of the things that we buy are no longer in use after 6 months,” I hope to start a decrease in this number by making sure that the products I use and buy are actually going to be in it for the long run. I want to make sure that I get more than one use out of something I buy. So like I said, for starters, I will be using reusable storage bins that I will be able to use every year to pack up and transport all of my belongings back home.
I hope that I influence you all to think about this as you move out this week and hopefully it'll influence you to stay away from cardboard boxes as well.

Great Job on all fronts. !!!
