Muppets go biodiesel

When you've got to move the Muppets across Hollywood, who do you call? A moving company that uses biodiesel, apparently. NorthStar Moving sent out a notice today that declares the company to be "the Luxury Mover of Choice for NBC Universal Studios, Jim Henson Productions, and More."

NorthStar's green angle means that the trucks burn biodiesel (what percentage was not specified, but I've sent an email to try and find out) and tries to not let trucks idle too much and used 100 percent recycled boxes. On the luxury side of things, there is apparently some sort of emphasis on customer service, you know, like getting the goods there on time and carefully packed. NorthStar has been operating since 1994.
