Moishe’s to Become First Green Moving
Company on East Coast
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) April 22, 2008 --
Today Moishe’s Moving and Storage Systems
announced that they are going green. The eco-friendly move makes Moishe’s
the first all-green moving company on the East Coast.
The company believes this year’s Earth Day is
a fitting kick-off to a year-long transition into total green
operations. Over the next year Moishe’s will
institute changes that will significantly cut back on waste and conserve
massive amounts of energy. The company will environmentally optimize
their corporate offices, institute new moving supplies rental programs,
and introduce green-incentives for their employees before the end of
2008. The entire fleet of Moishe’s moving
trucks will be converted to bio-fuel by the end of 2009.
“We really feel that going green plays a
massive part in being a socially responsible company,”
said Moishe’s CEO Gene Lemay. “We’ve
re-engineered our entire corporate pyramid, from our top executive’s
offices, right down to the fuel our moving trucks run on. We’re
proud to be the first moving company on the East Coast to make the move
to green.”
Moishe’s move to green includes several
company-wide changes. The transition includes:
-
A Community Box Exchange Program allowing customers to exchange
re-usable boxes via a website operated by Moishe’s,
which will be launched in the early summer 2008.
-
A paperless billing system
-
Rental of light-weight and re-usable biodegradable boxes
-
Replacing packing peanuts with biodegradable pellets made from
recycled diapers
-
Financial incentives for employees to live more environmentally
responsible
-
Transitioning to trucks powered by bio-fuel instead of gasoline
