The Pro's and Con's of buying Green Moving Supplies
Pros: Reduces the carbon footprint of your move; extends the life cycle of recycled material by adding another avenue of use; supports the “green” industry as a whole and communicates to that the need for green products is real in Seattle; buying green is the ONLY way to ensure that more green products will be developed and can actually lead to a change towards more environmentally friendly practices; going “green” is becoming more expected by consumers and often influences where they will do business
Cons: Most research on consumer spending indicates that consumers typically believe that “green” products are too expensive or of inferior quality compared to traditional products; many “recycled” products are NOT really made from recycled materials and can be more harmful to the environment so do your homework; there is not often a green alternative or it can be hard to find.
Summary: The reality is that most consumers in Seattle today are looking for more eco-friendly products and that trend continues to grow in most consumer segments. However, this has caused some industries to “green-wash” their products. Green-washing refers to putting a “green” or “eco-friendly” label on products that may not actually adhere to sustainable practices. Because the terms “green” and “eco-friendly” are NOT protected terms, they can applied to any product or practice without any burden of proof.
