The fewer space units take, the less fuel is wasted, the more hope Mr. Ozone will have! Cheer up you atmosphere lair! Hope is yet not wasted. 

Ikea has it's special eco-friendly bags, invests in solar energy and has lately moved to led lights only. Flat pack furniture is not a 100% fantastic but it sure is headed that way.
