Plastic Gets My Approval (hint: it is reusable)

Check out this video from The New York Times:

I am happy to see that re-usable moving bins are becoming available for residential moves in NYC. I had looked for a company that used them this past summer and didn't find one. One sturdy plastic bin that can be re-used 100 times vs. a cardboard box with limited re-use and all that plastic tape? The bin is better, especially if it is made from recycled plastic.

Great idea!

That's one of those "I wish I thought of that" ideas.

Hope it catches on.
