eBay is taking a step in a greener direction with their introduction of the eBay Box. This cardboard box is designed to be sent back and forth from seller to buyer until it is unusable, saving the Earth in the process.
The eBay Box is made out of FSC-certified materials, and will be sent to any eBay sellers who want sign up to get them starting in October. The eBay Box may not save the world, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
