Plan a green wedding
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Weddings are a great opportunity to set the tone for your new life – and inspire others. From recycled invitations and vintage rings to minimizing your guests’ driving and donating leftovers, you can do a lot to make it a blissful yet responsible day. Some guiding principles: Stay local with regard to food, location, and vendors. Do as much online and off-paper as you can. And skip the registry in favor of soliciting donations to a good cause. Challenge yourself to go green together as you begin anew.

We also skipped the wedding and went away by ourselves.
I got married in Vegas 9 1/2 years ago, but I do things in my life daily to be green. My weekly garbage usually consists of 1/2 full (recycled) garbage bag and the rest is all recycling. I shop with canvas bags and if I forget to take them into the store, I carry my items in my arms. I’m anti-plastic and styrofoam. All light bulbs are compact florescents and my electronics are unplugged when not in use. I also use Seventh Generation cleaning products. I am always coming up with new ways to be a little bit more green. My produce is purchased from a local farmers market…..
We are getting married on Valentines Day 09 and to help go green we sent our save the dates and invitations electronically!
my wedding was just me and my husband in Vegas!
wedding is Sept. 5, 2009
