500 Miles & 200 Gallons of Gasoline Later...

So, I've made a move. It's been a rough one and rougher still with my conscience eating at me about using a 24 foot U-Haul that guzzled gas like it was going out of style. Wait, it is going out of style, in fact it's already gone like the parachute pants of the MC Hammer days. I didn't take the time to research what other alternative options I had and if I had I would have found GREAT resources on moving green, from cardboard-less packing boxes (visit http://www.earthfriendlymoving.com/) to a biodiesel truck (visit http://www.gogreenmoving.com/). But now that I'm in this situation, what do I do with the 20 used only once boxes and the 200 gallons of gas on my conscience? Well, I will be praying that some unfortunate fellow who also needs to move will use the boxes. I've listed them on http://www.freecycle.org/, a non-profit 'give-away' site put together to keep stuff out of landfills. As for the 200 gallons of gas...I will be riding my bike for an awfully long time.
