This is a common occurrence in any household, no matter whether you\u2019re getting rid of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/storage-insights\/storing-baby-items-for-future-use\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outgrown baby gear<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or tired of storing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/storage-insights\/holiday-decoration-storage-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seasonal decor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so, we all opt to head for the bin or donation site to get rid of those items we can\u2019t find an immediate need for. But is this the best way we can conduct our spring cleaning from an eco-conscious perspective? Or are there true benefits to storing things we don\u2019t have an immediate need for, but are in perfectly good shape?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for ways that you and your family can begin to cut down on your environmental footprint, it\u2019s important to follow the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduce, recycle, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reuse<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mantra.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Reduce: Keeping Items Out of Landfills<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time you opt to keep something instead of throwing it in the trash, you\u2019re helping to reduce waste. Of course, the less you consume initially, the less waste there will be down the road. That, paired with using the things that we already own for as long as possible, can help to reduce our individual impact on our environment, and domino into even bigger changes for our world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Recycle: Understanding Manufacturing Impacts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturing processes take a huge toll on our planet every day. One of the biggest offenders continues to be the textile industry, whose fast fashion craze is polluting our sources of freshwater, filling our landfills, and emitting a ton of greenhouse gasses into the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the furniture industry is close behind. While these industries are working to make big changes to improve their environmental impact, there are things we can do as consumers to help. For one, recycling things properly. Whether that be returning aluminum cans and plastic bottles to be recycled or making the conscious decision to thrift secondhand items rather than indulge in quick trends, these small steps add up to a big change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Reuse: Storing Items for Future Use<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of benefits to storing things for an extended period of time. For one, it saves you down the road when you have to repurchase things no longer in your possession. This is especially true for seasonal items like outdoor patio furniture, holiday decorations, or larger pieces of transitional furniture. It can also be great to have these items on hand to lend to friends and family who now have a need. But if these things aren\u2019t stored properly, they can quickly become damaged and unusable \u2014 and that can lead to more wasteful practices, even unintentionally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what if your at-home storage options \u2014 namely a dark, musty basement, damp garage, or super hot attic \u2014 aren\u2019t cutting it as the perfect storage solution any longer? That\u2019s where self-storage comes in very handy! By storing your things in a climate-controlled self-storage unit, they will be waiting patiently for you to grab when the time comes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ways to Minimize Your Environmental Impact While Storing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve decided to store your items to future use \u2014 hooray! But what else can you be doing to be eco-conscious about the way in which you\u2019re storing these things?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Vet Your Storage Facility Options<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one, you want to find a storage facility that understands how important a sustainable business is for their own impact on the planet. This might include upgrading to LEDs as opposed to using halogen bulbs or investing in energy-efficient systems to heat and cool their facilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make Sure It\u2019s Local<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, you\u2019ll want to make sure it\u2019s conveniently located near your home or work so there\u2019s not a lot of extra driving required to access your things. For example, Morningstar Storage has quite a few <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/locations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">locations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> scattered all across the Southeast. Also, be sure to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/storage-insights\/questions-to-ask-before-renting-a-self-storage-unit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ask these important questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you make that big decision about who you\u2019re going to entrust with your valuables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pick the Right Size<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also pack up your things and organize your storage unit in a way that\u2019s better for the environment. First, select the right storage unit for your specific needs \u2014 if you need to move to a bigger space in the future you can, but try to keep things as efficient as possible size-wise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pack Your Unit Properly<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, use the right packing materials. Avoid non-recyclable materials like plastics, styrofoam, bubble wrap, or packing peanuts. Instead, use things like newspapers, paper towels, and other biodegradable options. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/storage-insights\/how-to-label-boxes-for-storage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organize the unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in an easy-to-access way so you\u2019re not wasting a lot of time and energy trying to locate things down the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how big or small of an effort, each step we collectively take will help us to build a more sustainable future for our planet. This Earth Day, let\u2019s celebrate by taking action!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Morningstar Storage\u2019s Commitment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morningstar Storage is proud to offer more than just quality storage solutions \u2014 we are committed to playing an active role in supporting and strengthening our local communities.
