My Green Life

Green weddings are becoming more of a trend and gaining popularity, the Christian Science Monitor reports, and my husband and I just helped to perpetuate the trend. Although we could have done more to make it even more environmental friendly (reused a dress, offset the carbon used, had organic/local food), we did what we could to raise awareness among our guests and reduce our footprint. To do this at our outdoor wedding we used compostable plates and cups (http://www.worldcentric.org) when not using rented china, we handed out potted seeds for our guests to take home and plant themselves, and we had the ceremony where the majority of our friends and family lived to cut down carbon emissions.The wedding was a big success, and hopefully the environmental focus will rub off onto our guests.
