Your Environmentally Conscious New Jersey Moving Fleet |
Running the 10-truck Harrington Movers fleet on regular diesel fuel
used to release a lot of harmful emissions into the atmosphere whenever
we fired up the engines. In January 2010, we made the earth-friendly
decision to switch every Harrington Movers truck to biodiesel fuel.
You can feel good about choosing a moving company with an
earth-friendly conscience. According to the National Biodiesel Board,
using biodiesel leads to a substantial reduction of harmful emissions
like carbon monoxide and eliminates emissions of the major components
of acid rain. The Department of Energy and the Department of
Agriculture have concluded that biodiesel reduces net CO2 emissions by
78 percent when compared to traditional diesel. The fuel is also made
from a combination of renewable resources that can be grown and sold
right here in the U.S.
Our Total Green Overhaul
The move to biodiesel is just one part of Harrington’s comprehensive
environmental efforts. We’ve built a company-wide green initiative from
the ground up, starting with the little things (energy efficient light
bulbs, biodegradable garbage bags, and reducing our heating and cooling
usage in the office).
Now we’re moving onto bigger things by offering our customers
waste-reducing products like recycled material moving boxes and a used
box exchange program. You’ll also save money and time with convenient
downloadable forms and digital estimates that take some of the
hassle out of moving while also cutting down on wasted paper, postage
and fuel.
Harrington Movers President Jeff Harrington, who also serves as
president of the New Jersey Warehouse & Movers Association, is now
working with the state to eliminate the mandatory use of multi-part
carbon-copy service forms and bills of lading. Says Jeff, “Because
state regulations specify the kinds of documentation required by the
moving industry, we’re lobbying to update these requirements. With over
300 moving companies across the state, small changes like these could
have a huge environmental impact in cutting down on waste.”
Call Harrington Movers today for a move that’s not only hassle-free but environmentally responsible, too.
