Reusable Shipping Boxes.
The eBay Green Team has come up with an excellent way to be environmentally friendly. Not only do they help reduce the waste of boxes, they are also made of 100% recyclable materials. These boxes are made to withstand many shippings instead of "one and done." The boxes come in three sizes, to fit everyones needs. "By our calculations, if every box gets reused at least five times, we could protect nearly 4,000 trees, save 2.4 million gallons of water and conserve enough energy to power 49 homes for a year. We’ve also left plenty of space on the boxes for you – and everyone else who receives the box – to write a personal message to the next person in the chain, giving every box a life of its very own. The history of each box can also be tracked through a virtual community where buyers and sellers can connect online."
eBay could have the start of something really great and good for the environment. We could save even more trees, electric and water if even more places, like the United Postal Service or UPS would come up with something like this. Now if only they could find a better way to ship without burning fossil fuels we could all have a better environment.

I found the article on Life Goggles Written by Joel and then the Green Team eBay blog; which is also where I got the picture.
