Pallets!

WorldChanging on a new kind of pallet (you know, the things that forklifts, um, lift?) that’s made out of cardboard (!) instead of wood.

WC sez that about 40% of all hardwood harvested in the U.S. is for pallets, and two-thirds of all pallets are only used once. Yeesh.

Yet another opportunity for greater a) environmental responsibility and b) economic efficiency!
