Sustainable Moving

On Aug. 14, 2011, University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduates Lisa Diaz (left) and Megan Tyson (right) are surrounded by their possessions on the lawn of their campus-area rental house during the annual Madison move-out/move-in weekend. With housing leases ending on Aug. 14 and a new leases taking effect on Aug. 15, landlords have a window of time to clean, paint and make necessary repairs. In the meantime, tenants must find temporary shelter for themselves and their belongings. (Photo by Bryce Richter / UW-Madison)
