How much stuff do you have to move? Are you looking for help carrying stuff, or do you just need a large vehicle to physically deliver your stuff? What is your budget? What kind of "stuff" are we talking - appliances, a piano or two, or just boxes with clothes?

You're giving zero information, and even if you called a moving company they'd be asking you the same exact questions.

If you think recycling paper products is no better than throwing them in the landfill then you really are an idiot. You'd have the beginnings of a point if the topic here was plastics but you haven't bothered to understand what you're talking about at all.

Cardboard is the most recycled material in the US and over 90% is recycled each year. This rate has been above 80% since 2009. It is the material with the strongest argument for recycling!

Oh yea I'll make sure to go to the factory and have my goods packaged in reusable packaging instead of cardboard. Cardboard is extremely recyclable and the actual recycling rate is pretty good. If you can't differentiate between that and other types then you've got no business telling other people how to act on this topic.

Yeah, I’d say i don’t think we will ever see that plant come to fruition. They did all the ground work to prep for it. When PTTGCA’s investment partner Daelim Chemical USA of South Korea withdrew everything kind of went cold. Nothing new has really been reported on in the last year or so.

This is a fantastic way to have something stupid happen, like a person get injured or something insignificant get broken, and now insurance is involved and everything costs 1000x more.

Or, you know, a nosy neighbor sees that you've hired an unlicensed contractor, and calls the police. Which has happened in our neighborhood, because it's full of old people who have nothing better to do than be nebby about other people's shit.

Because, you know, if you remove a tree that isn't yours, you will be successfully sued and liable for monetary damages.
