An awesome new client of mine sent me a link to an article on green weddings at The Nature Conservancy: http://www.nature.org/activities/art25063.html
They brought up one statistic that I’ve seen before, but haven’t mentioned on this blog: in 2007, brides.com polled and found that 33 percent of future brides and grooms in the US were planning eco-friendly weddings.
I know many of you are also going green, so I definitely thought this would be an article you’d like to check out. They had one idea that I’m definitely keeping in mind for down the road:
If there’s a baby on the way, or you’re planning to start a family soon, have eight trees planted on your child’s behalf, says Sanjayan.
No babies yet, but maybe we should plant some trees to offset our 2007 wedding’s footprint?
Also, I saw that today in the New York Times they posted about going green for your honeymoon: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/06/22/travel/22green.html?8dpc
This part made me chuckle out loud because of the name, though I think it’s a great idea:
Some even choose to go “wwoofing” — an acronym for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (www.wwoof.org) — an organization that helps volunteers find farms where they can work in exchange for food and lodging and the chance to learn more about sustainable ways of living.
As always, I want to remind our clients of how earth-friendly we strive to be with our work.
