Plastics: a new technology to recycle PET biologically

/in /by

A technology developed by a French company will enable the biological recycling of PET. PET is one of the most common and abundant plastics, with some 70 million tonnes produced worldwide each year.

The technology developed by the French company Carbios to biologically recycle PET has made the front page of Nature, one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals. The article explains how their technology breaks down PET into its basic components using “gluttonous enzymes”.

Technology that breaks down 90% of PET in 10 hours

In April 2018, American and British researchers had already won acclaim in the scientific press with a publication on the use of enzymes to degrade plastics. Carbios had then indicated that its research was much more advanced, but specified that its priority was then to protect its technology with patents, before considering a publication in a leading scientific journal.

The technology of Carbios and the Toulouse Scientific Institute makes it possible to decompose 90% of PET in ten hours. The raw materials thus recovered can be used to make new PET. This is a major breakthrough in circular economy. 

Their method is 100 times more efficient than the competing methods announced so far, which “illustrates the strength of French public/private collaboration to bring basic and applied research to the best international level,” the two entities said in a press release.

How to Pack Clothes for Moving Without Losing Your Mind

/in /by

Whether your wardrobe is bursting at the hinges or more of a minimalist closet, it’s good to know how to pack clothes for moving. If it sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. We’ve gathered the best ways to get your clothes from point A to point B, no matter how many outfits you own.

How to Prepare to Pack Clothes for Moving

Before grabbing your clothes and packing them in a rush, take some time to organize. The extra prep will ensure you only pack the clothes you really want and that they’ll be unpacked in a jiffy.

Decide what you’re keeping

Avoid lugging clothes you’ll never wear again from one home to the next. Want to know how to pack clothes for moving that you’ll actually wear? Go through your wardrobe and separate your clothes into three piles. One for donating, one for clothes you’re selling, and another for those you’re storing.

Sifting through your clothes can be a struggle. Outfits you love but don’t fit anymore can be hard to part with. When deciding which clothes to take and which ones to let go of, keep in mind how good it’ll feel to have the extra space.

Donate your clothes

Donating your clothes to charity is a great way to help your community. Clothes that you haven’t worn in over a year but are still in good condition can get a new lease on life. Plus, you’ll free up space in your new closet.

Sell your clothes

Do you have expensive jeans that don’t fit? Or a designer handbag you don’t want? If you have items hiding in your closet that you’ll never wear or use again, sell them online or at specialty thrift stores.

Store excess items

For items that are too special to get rid of, like a wedding dress, don’t shove them back into the depths of your closet or back under your bed. Instead, set them aside. If you’re tight on space in your new home, put items into a storage unit for safe keeping. If storage isn’t an issue for you, pack these clothes first.

Prepare your clothes for packing

If you know how to pack clothes for moving correctly, you’ll avoid stress later on. Before packing, wash all your clothes. You can then put them in order of what to pack first. To keep things easy, pack the clothes you use the least first. Unless you know you’ll need them before moving day, start with packing cocktail attire and out of season clothes. If you’re moving in the summer, for example, you probably won’t need those scarves and coats.

Sort clothes before packing by material, type, or season

Want to know how to pack clothes for moving in the most organized way? Make unpacking easier by sorting your clothes before packing them. You’ll be able to see how much you have in each category and put your clothes away easily. We recommend dividing your clothes among these categories – material, purpose, or season.

Material of clothing

If you have a lot of wool sweaters or cashmere cardigans, you may want to keep them together. Deciding to pack your clothes by material lets you treat each fabric carefully. For example, you can protect natural fabrics from moths as you move by packing them in plastic. This strategy is especially helpful for the clothes that you’re storing. Keep them fresh and intact by packing clothes made out of the same materials all in one box.

Type of clothing

Different types of clothes have different needs. You wouldn’t pack a sundress the same way you’d pack shorts, so it’s a good idea to separate them. Use this method if you have many different types of clothes. If you’re more of a t-shirt and jeans person, separating your clothes by type may not be as useful.

Seasonal clothing

If you live in a region with fluctuating seasons, this is the best way for you to sort your clothes. Simply divide your clothes by each season, starting with the season you’re furthest from. If it’s winter now, you’ll start packing summer clothes first.

How to Pack Clothes for Moving by Type

You’ve pared down your closet and separated the clothes you have left. Now we can get into the nitty-gritty of how to pack clothes for moving. From hanging clothes to shoes, each item should be packed in a specific way. Here are the best ways to pack and move each category.

How to pack hanging clothes for moving

Chances are, you have a lot of hanging clothes. Between shirts, pants, and formal outfits, hanging clothes often dominate household closets. Since they tend to wrinkle easily it’s important to move them properly. You don’t want to spend a whole day ironing. These are the four most efficient ways to pack hanging clothes without adding extra creases:

1. Wardrobe boxes

The best way to pack hanging clothes is with wardrobe boxes. These rectangular boxes come with hanging rods that are ideal for moving clothes on hangers. They’re sturdy enough to hold a lot of clothes and their shape makes it easy to keep wrinkles at bay. They are often expensive, but for many, they’re worth the cost. If your budget allows, be sure to add a few wardrobe boxes to your list when deciding how many moving boxes you need.

2. Garment or trash bags

Protecting your clothes when you move is a no-brainer. Depending on their price, knowing how to pack clothes for moving with garment bags can be worth your while to protect your clothes from dirt and dust. Moving without professional movers and need to save space in your vehicle? Garment bags are easy to hang in your car and can lay on top of other boxes. If you’re on a tight budget or a time crunch, you can substitute garbage bags for garment bags.

3.  Portable hanging racks

Want to know how to move clothes on hangers? Hanging racks are the way to go. You can purchase these at large home supply stores. Given their size, hanging racks work best when you’re using a moving truck. All you have to do is move your hanging clothes from one rack to the other. You may want to protect your clothes on the rack with trash bags or sheets, just to be safe.

How to pack non-hanging clothes for moving

When it comes to learning how to pack folded clothes for moving, you’re usually dealing with a chest of drawers. The best way to pack clothes already in dresser drawers is to leave them there and tape up the drawers. This can make moving your furniture very difficult, though. Depending on your moving company (or the strength of your friends), you may have to empty the dresser.

If this is the case, you need medium-sized boxes and some packing paper. Line the box with the paper and stack your folded clothes inside. To make unpacking a cinch, use the paper to divide your clothes as they were split across your drawers. Be sure to fill empty space in the boxes with exercise clothes or towels to keep everything in place.

How to pack shoes for moving

Your shoes go through enough, so be sure to protect them during the move. Stuff each one with packing paper or socks to keep their shape. Then wrap your shoes individually with packing paper to prevent scuffing. Depending on how many shoes you have, you can pack them in small or medium-sized boxes.

To protect your shoes, pack them toe-to-heel or sole-to-sole as you go. Also, be sure to put your heaviest shoes on the bottom of the box and lighter shoes on top. This way your snow boots won’t crush your sandals.

How to Pack Clothes in Bags and Suitcases

You may want to use duffel bags and suitcases for the clothes you’ll wear moving week and those you’ll want easy access to. Since suitcases are made to hold clothes, they’re easy to pack. Plus they can save you money on moving boxes. When deciding how to pack clothes for moving with a suitcase, look for ways to save space. Fold everything well and roll socks and small items to fit inside shoes.

If your bag doesn’t have wheels, be careful not to make it too heavy. You want to be able to carry it, so make life easier on yourself and keep it at a reasonable weight.

How to Pack Clothes in Garbage and Vacuum-Seal Bags

If you opt for garbage bags, you’re in luck. The whole process is pretty simple. Pick up a box of 30-gallon bags, making sure they have drawstrings. Tie 5-10 hangers together at a time or wrap them with an elastic band. Poke a hole in the bottom of a garbage bag. Then slip it over the stack of hanging clothes, threading the hangers through the hole. Be sure to tie the bag to secure your clothes inside and keep the dirt out.

When packing a vacuum-seal bag, roll or fold your clothes flat. Pack your larger items first and top them with smaller clothes. Once the bag is full, seal it shut and grab your vacuum. Lift the valve cap and place your vacuum nozzle on top. Turn on the vacuum and suck out the air. Once all the air is out of the bag, close and secure the valve cap. You’re done!

Be careful not to store your clothes in vacuum sealed bags for too long, though. They can damage clothing left inside for six months or more.

Home Post-move Checklist

/in /by

Welcome to your new home! Whether it’s the house you’ve always dreamed of buying or a stepping stone to your next adventure, don’t let the unpacking process slow you down as you make your house your home. You can get settled in more quickly with help from this step by step moving tips checklist.

Check in With Your Utilities

One of the first things you should do upon arriving at your new home is to get in touch with your utility companies and verify that they’ve got the service under your name. Here are a few other important pointers:

Contact your HOA. If you’re moving into a condo or a home with an HOA, check in with their office and learn about your agreement. Some pay for utilities to members through the monthly fee. Find out about where you can throw out the trash and get parking permits if they’re required.

Find the cut-off mains for your utilities. Look around for the electric, water and gas mains and verify that they’re working correctly.

Contact your local internet and broadband provider. Let them know you’ve arrived and schedule a time for installation. If you need internet service in the meantime, you may be able to turn your phone into a mobile hot spot.

Prioritize Your Unpacking

If you hired a moving company, they probably left you an inventory of everything that was moved. Check that list and verify that no items were damaged or missing before they leave. Because it’s hard to know what to unpack first, we’ve got a list of unpacking tips to take on while the movers are getting things unloaded:

Order lunch. Before you get too busy, pick up or order lunch to make sure everyone is fed and fueled.

Clean your floors, walls and windows. Once new furnishings go in, it’s hard to catch up on this one.

Wipe down furniture. To help your kids feel at home more quickly, get them involved in unpacking. Assign a volunteer to dust and clean all furniture as it comes off the truck.

Work with the movers. Tell them where you want furniture to go and have them stack moving boxes along one wall in the correct room.

Clean the kitchen. Wipe out refrigerators and the pantry, then unpack the food. Line the shelves in your kitchen and unpack your silverware, dishes, glasses and pots and pans.

Clean as you go. Use a big box to hold broken-down boxes and recyclables and place a few trash bags on door handles to keep the mess down.

Make beds and unpack bathrooms. Showering and sleeping in your own bed will help you feel grounded later. Make sure you keep track of your shower curtain and linens for the kid’s rooms after they’re unloaded.

Think fire safety now. Locate the fire extinguishers and review the new fire escape plan with your family. Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the home.

How to Unpack After Moving Homes

In the days that follow moving day, it’s important to stay organized during the unpacking process. Here are some good ideas that can help you manage unpacking after a move.

Start in the living spaces you’ll need most. Get the kitchen, living room and dining room unpacked and arranged to provide a sense of stability in the heart of your home.

Set up your tech. Get your computer, televisions, telephones plugged in and connected to your home network.

Break down the boxes. Take a few minutes and get the important items out of key boxes on a room-by-room basis. This will help keep your rooms in order during the transition.

Call a locksmith. It’s a good idea to replace the locks, since you can’t be sure who’s got a copy of your keys.

How to Make a New House Your Home

After most of the boxes are unpacked, it’s time to decorate and put those finishing touches on your new place.

Set up a tour of your children’s new school. Help them feel more comfortable by meeting teachers, finding the library, gym and school office.

Hang window coverings. Installing window treatments will help you and your family feel more secure.

Run the errands. Get a library card, licenses for pets and register to vote.

Get to the DMV. Update the address on your driver’s license.

Maintain the exterior. Mow the lawn and assess the outside of your home for any needed upkeep, especially if it’s been vacant for a while.

Decorate with memories. Get images printed and framed to keep the photos up-to-date.

Get rid of empty boxes. Consider using social media to advertise. People are always on the hunt for boxes.

Get deep into the items that were left in the garage and make sense of the mess while you have time.

And just like that, you’re well on your way to settling in.

The independent voice of the global moving industry

/in /by

With the threat of extinction becoming increasingly more real for our planet, there is not a more significant and more urgent challenge that confronts all of us in the 21st century than global climate change.

Hoa Vu, CEO of Evolve Mobility, believes that humans have a deep ethical responsibility to do something about this environmental predicament. Ray daSilva, President of Mobility Exchange, talked to her to find out more.

Speaking to Hoa, it is hard not to be impressed and influenced by her passion for our environment.  So, how did this entrepreneur who started her business in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2018 make ecology a central theme in her business?  “Our logo has a tag line – Your journey shapes how you evolve.”  After more than 20 years in the moving business, Hoa decided to start her own company.  She brought more than experience, knowledge and contacts.  She brought a firsthand understanding of the environmental impact that even a small moving business can have on our planet.

Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world with an expected GDP growth in 2019 of 6.8%.  While the rapid development is bringing more opportunities, affluence and prosperity to the people, it has also earned Ho Chi Minh City the distinction of being one of the most polluted cities in south-east Asia.  Conservation made sense to Hoa for so many reasons but the most important were related to her young children.  Hoa said: “It was something that I learned from my daughters.  It is their planet, we are just temporary custodians.  Establishing a successful business is important but a great business needs a sustainable home.  I was determined to bring these two priorities together.”

As it turns out, reducing waste, recycling and  implementing sound conservation practices in her business were exactly what was helping to create brand awareness and success for her fledgling business.  “We have some great competitors in our market who are as focussed on service excellence as we are, but our green message and initiatives resonated with our customers.  That, plus the knowledge that we are doing our share and hopefully a bit more to protect our children’s future, drives our passion and our engagement.”

To highlight the dire need for action, Hoa points out that municipal solid waste in Vietnam is forecast to increase by 38% from 11.6 million tons in 2016 to 15.9 million tons in 2030. Vietnam is currently one of the five largest contributors in the world releasing plastic waste into the ocean – over 280,000 tons of plastic waste yearly.  Statistics like these can easily overwhelm us, making us feel numb and powerless.  After all, what can one individual or even one company do to stop and even reverse such trends?

Our industry’s use of cardboard, wood, plastics-based packaging, and diesel truck engines may not make us the worst industrial polluters, but we all play a part as citizens of the world and as businesses that serve our communities.  There is no act of conservation that is too small to be meaningless according to Hoa.  It all adds up.  “Reduce, reuse, recycle and conserve are embedded into Evolve’s operating philosophy.  It does not require a conscious effort anymore, it is natural.”

Beyond its own conservation efforts and initiatives to reduce global warming, Evolve Mobility is working to spread awareness in the community.  In a recent example, Evolve participated in an event at the International School of Ho Chi Minh City where over 1000 school children, parents and community members gathered.  The Evolve team used a labyrinth maze constructed from recycled cartons as a fun way to focus on environmental awareness.  Tuan Vu, Evolve Mobility’s Deputy Manager, said: “The Evolve Labyrinth has become a bit of an event favorite.  Our first maze was for Lycée Français Marguerite Duras in June of 2019.  We already have another request for the Charity Bazaar hosted by the European International School this month.”  While the kids are having fun, the message about environmental awareness is very clear and is warmly accepted.”

There are lessons that we can all learn from Hoa Vu and her company.  Building a successful business and caring for the environment are not mutually exclusive.  In fact, if you do it properly, everyone and our planet wins.

Moving Plants: A How-to Guide

/in /by

You’ve worked hard to keep your houseplants alive, but now it’s time to move. Depending on your destination, moving plants to your new home may require some work — but don’t give up on them! Whether you’re looking to transport an array of succulents or a large palm, we’ve got you covered on how to move plants. Read on to learn how to care for your plants before, during, and after your move.

Preparing to Move Your Plants

Check state laws

If you’re preparing to move across state borders, there’s a chance you’ll have to find a new home for your houseplants. Some states prohibit certain plants to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. Other states may ask that you present a certificate of inspection for your plants. Don’t forget to check on the internet. If you can’t bring your beloved plants with you to your new place, don’t throw them away! There are a few alternate options:

  • Give your plants to friends or family
    Surely there’s someone in your network who would be more than happy to take your plants off your hands. Reach out to friends and family to see if anyone’s looking for some new greenery in their lives. If you’re struggling to find any takers, you can always offer up your plants on one of your social media accounts.
  • Contact local facilities
    If friends and family can’t take your houseplants, try donating them to places in your community. A local school, library, municipal building, or nursing facility may be interested.

  • List your plants online
    These days, there’s a website for everything — including one where you can donate and swap plants! On PlantSwap.org, creating an account is simple. Once you’ve filled in some profile information, you can list your plants with an “available for free” label.

  • Leave your plants on the curb
    We’re not talking about throwing them away! If you have to part ways with your houseplants, you can always leave them on the curb with a “free” sign. You’re bound to make someone’s day and find a new home for your plants in no time!

Prep your plants

If state laws permit you to move plants to your new home, you’re going to want to condition them for the move. This is particularly important if you’re moving a long ditance. Before learning how to move plants, take a look at how to care for them.

  • Water accordingly
    You don’t want to over-water your plants, as they will be heavy and drip water all over your car. On the other hand, you don’t want to under-water your plants or they may not make it to their new destination alive. For best results, water your plants a couple of days before your move. When moving plants during the summer, you’ll want to water them a little closer to your move. In the winter, you can hold off on watering them for a few days pre-move.
  • Prune dead leaves
    It’s good practice to prune your plants, especially when preparing for a move. Pruning spans beyond making your plants look good — it promotes healthy plant growth. Since moving plants can result in some damage, it’s key that they’re in the best shape possible before the big move.
  • Remove any insects
    You’ll definitely want to make sure your plants are bug-free before moving them into your new home. Doing so will keep them healthy on the journey to your new place, increasing their chance of survival.
  • Repot in plastic
    Moving plants in plastic will make them easier to carry (your body will thank you later). A disposable material also prevents the potential breakage of ceramic pots. Whichever material you end up choosing, you should repot your plants a few weeks before your move. This will give them time to adjust.

During Your Move

When it comes time to move, you have a couple of options for how to move plants. Unfortunately, most moving companies won’t transport plants since they want to avoid bringing pests or diseases across state lines. Still, you have a few alternatives. Think about what works best for you and your moving budget.

Moving plants yourself

Moving plants in your own car or rental truck requires some strategy but is doable. The key is to keep your plants secure while making sure they have enough oxygen to breathe. It’s best to avoid packing plants in your trunk, as the airflow is limited. Contrarily, you don’t want to pack your plants in a pickup truck, as the wind will get the best of your plants. If you do have to transport your plants in an open vehicle, place a sheet over them to prevent damage.

Regardless of where you choose to pack your plants, we suggest loading them last. This will help cut down on their car-time as much as possible. Depending on the size of your houseplants, we have varied suggestions on how to move plants:

  • Small plants
    if your plants are particularly tiny, cardboard boxes with dividers are a great way to keep them in place. For lots of little plants, wine glass boxes are a great choice. If you have slightly larger plants, you can simply nestle them in a box with some newsprint. Be sure to keep the box open to let the plants breathe. If you have to shut it, do so loosely and poke some holes in the box to let air inside.
  • Large plants
    If your plants are too big to fit in standard boxes, you can place the base of the plant in a trash bag to avoid soil spillage. To prevent the plant from shifting around, wrap the base in an old sheet or towel. For extra security, you may want to buckle up your plants or fasten them with a bungee cord. Depending on the length of your journey, taller plants might end up tilted or uprooted. If this occurs, simply replant them once you get to your new home.

Don’t waste money buying boxes for your plants! There are plenty of places where you can find free moving boxes if you know where to look.

Moving plants via mail

If you want to know how to move plants long-distance, it’s worth looking into shipping your plants. Shipping is a better option for sturdier plants like succulents, as the risk for damage can be high. When choosing a shipping company, try to determine who will ship your plants quickly and safely. Swing by your local post office.

If you’re shipping potted plants in the mail, you’ll want to wrap the pot in bubble wrap. For extra protection, place a sleeve of cardboard around the bottom of the plant. To keep the soil in place, put the base in a plastic bag.

When looking for the right box for moving plants, pick a sturdy one that can withstand a fair amount of wear. You’ll want the box to be only slightly larger than the plant itself to prevent it from shifting around. If there is extra space, fill it with newsprint or old linens. You can also stick a “fragile” or “live plant” label on the box to encourage those handling it to treat it more gently.

Settling In

Give your plants time to adjust

It’s totally normal for your houseplants to experience some wilting after your move. If there is any serious damage, go ahead and remove the dead foliage. Otherwise, continue to water them properly and provide supplemental light if necessary. Soon enough, your houseplants should adapt to their new environment.

We hope we’ve given you the tools on how to move plants safely to your new home. If your houseplants sustained some damage from the journey, don’t give up hope just yet! There are several solutions for bringing your plants back to life. Your plants should be thriving once again in no time. Happy Moving!

Moving and COVID-19, information

/in /by

“As the number of coronavirus cases grows, we are watching our friends and neighbors around the world practice social distancing, self-monitoring, and quarantining themselves, in an effort to contain the virus.

In various countries and cities, residents are sheltering in place and under mandatory lockdown. With the closure of many non-essential public places and businesses and shutdowns across many industries, we are receiving lots of questions about moving – is it essential or not? Should I still move?

This practical guide is designed to help you ask the right questions about your upcoming move and will be updated regularly with new information.

It is important to recognize that Updater is not a health care company and we are not health care professionals. While we are moving experts, the CDC and other qualified health officials should be your primary source of current information and guidance.

Here are a few things to consider as you plan to move during an emergency situation:

Is moving considered “essential”?

Essential reasons to leave your home during a lockdown, as defined by many local and state officials, include: getting health care, shopping for groceries or supplies, caring for family members, and exercising outside.

Since moving inevitably cuts against social distancing best practices, we encourage you not to move at this time unless local officials deem your specific move as essential, or your business is deemed essential and you must move for work. Stay where you are, if you can.

If you have not signed the home contract yet, but plan to, request an addendum for additional flexibility should the parties be quarantined or unable to complete the transaction (here’s an example from the Texas Association of REALTORS).

If you are not required to leave your current home, you should stay right where you are. Staying home can help prevent the spread of COVID-19, sick or not.

If possible, try to reschedule your move for a later time when we have more information on the spread of the virus and all parties involved in the move (you, the new home-owner or management company, the moving company, etc.) can implement best practices and comply with the instructions of local authorities.

Due to the need to safely “shelter in place” in compliance with the current COVID-19 directives, moving is considered essential in many cities. However, we still recommend checking with your local authorities beforehand, as local law enforcement is the determining voice in this discussion. Be sure to comply with the direct orders of your local officials and continue to monitor their communications. Feel free to call your officials to ask if no guidance has been provided.

If you do have to move, your moving company should put health and safety first

Your health and safety and the moving company’s employees’ health and safety will be the moving company’s highest priority.

We suggest you call your moving company to discuss your options.

If your move is necessary, and your moving company plans to move you, they should help you plan as safe (and seamless) a move as possible. This may include:

  • A virtual survey instead of an in-home survey to provide a price estimate

  • Screening their crew for symptoms to ensure health and safety

  • Adding hand sanitizer to all trucks

  • Movers wearing gloves and masks

  • Heightened daily cleaning procedures for shared, high-touch surfaces in your homes, on the trucks, on the equipment, and their dispatch/office areas

  • Free storage from your moving company. Some companies will offer to hold your belongings for free if you need to leave your old home, but your new home is not ready yet

Bonus tip: do not pack the soap! Give your moving crew access to wash their hands with hot water frequently.

If you choose to postpone your move with a professional moving company

If you have made the decision to postpone your move and need to cancel your moving company: do not fret. In most cases, booking a moving company is non-binding, allowing you the freedom to cancel at any point prior to your move, without penalty.

However, if your moving company collected a deposit prior to your move, it may be non-refundable. Contact your moving company about your deposit, as many reputable moving companies will make an exception considering the pandemic and either refund the deposit or provide credit for a future move.

If your professional moving company cancels on you

Do not worry, you have options:

  • You can move yourself, in your own vehicle: this is the safest option

  • You can rent a truck: you can contact Evolve Mobility for some tips, but please be aware of the law in Vietnam to drive by yourself

  • You can move in with friends or family members and put your belongings in temporary storage: Evolve Mobility can provide you a storage for the time you may need

  • You can move into temporary, furnished housing and put your belongings in storage: please check with Evolve Mobility and its relocation partner

If you are concerned about paying rent or being evicted

Also, if you are a tenant, be sure to check with your property management company and local officials on rent payment flexibility, eviction proceedings and eviction orders.

Evolve Mobility’s comment: please, contact your consulate and information from your own contry about renting a house or an apartment in your country for further details. You can also contact us for more information.

If you have an extra minute, here are some additional things to consider

  • Prioritize your internet setup. Scheduling an internet installation date at your new home is critical for staying connected to friends and family. There are 1-2 hour call wait times at cable and internet providers right now, as more and more people call to increase speeds and bandwidth. You can not bank on getting an appointment as easily as you have in the past. Additionally, consider a high bandwidth plan to account for changes in working from home, video calls, multi-device streaming, etc.

  • Stocking your kitchen full of groceries will feel a bit different this time around. Grab in Vietnam is still deliverying food, no worries, as well as Mega Market and other supermarkets!

 

We understand your concerns: this is a scary time and certainly takes moving stress to the next level. We encourage you to visit the CDC website and your local authority’s website for updated information and safety precaution tips.

Remember: this is a rare time where your actions are about something bigger than you. Your actions protect people you may never meet. We are all part of a much larger community and together we can make a huge impact on the lives of others.”
