As you know by now, I like highlighting local Virginia businesses who are making a difference by their commitment to a greener, more sustainable way of operating.

JK Moving & Storage recently sent me their Commitment To Sustainability.

They're doing things like offering free used packing materials to their customers to reduce waste. They help with recycling your electronics. These visible efforts impacting their customers are great, but maybe more important are the things going on that you might never see.

They train staff on the importance of sustainability and how individuals can contribute at work and at home. Their vehicles use ultra low sulfur diesel to reduce emissions. They recycle batteries and anti-freeze. And, my favorite, they launched ReUse DC. It's a site where individuals and corporations can trade, sell and give away their unwanted furniture, household items and office equipment.

JK Moving & Storage had already turned me into a fan because of how they treat my customers. I'm an even bigger fan now!
