Its Easy Being Green- Its a Nice Day for a Green Wedding

Posted by simontoffel on 19th April 2010

The average wedding costs $28,732 and generates an enormous carbon footprint. Taking into account the travel involved, the delivery of food and flowers, and the amount of paper used for invitations and eating utensils, it’s no wonder more couples are opting for green weddings, which allow them to celebrate their special day with the planet in mind, and even save some money in the process. Green wedding sites and services are steadily gaining in popularity and offer an alternative covering every aspect of tying the knot.

An expanding eco-marketplace has helped to spur the emergence of the green wedding. Green wedding planners now have plenty of tools at their disposal, from recycled wedding invitations to earth-friendly alternatives to buying a tuxedo to responsible jewelry. All Green Weddings, a green wedding gift registry, even allows gift givers to use a cash gift feature that eliminates shipping gifts around the country. The registry sends a check to the couple, who can then pick up their gift locally.

Businesses in the multi-million dollar wedding industry are picking up on the fact that providing green services is profitable including green jewelry, green diamonds, green box, green wedding ring, green diamond ring, green cloths and more eco friendly materials. More and more couples are requesting organic menus, looking for soy-based candles, and seeking locations that recycle. This demand increases these services, driving the marketplace for weddings in an environmentally conscious direction—and the market continues to expand. According to Millie Martini Bratten, the editor-in-chief of Brides magazine, over the past five years the interest in sustainable weddings has grown from a desire to include a few green elements in the occasion to planning “zero waste” weddings.

While green weddings are not necessarily less expensive than traditional weddings—providing an all-organic menu, for example, can increase costs—couples find ways to cut back to afford them, or simply choose smaller weddings altogether. They may choose a venue close to most of their guests, keep the guest list smaller, or hold the ceremony in a natural setting that involves less decorations. And for the honeymoon, some couples may turn to domestic locations instead of flying to more exotic locales like Thailand.

The green party concept is even spreading beyond weddings to other types of occasions. The 80th Annual Academy Awards this year incorporated ecologically sensitive practices into its planning and presentation, and Marriott International now offers organic flowers at events and meetings in response to corporate meeting planners who wanted to be more socially responsible.

Some argue that green weddings will only carve a small niche in the overall market, but that remains to be seen. A survey by Brides magazine last year on its website revealed that 60 percent of respondents were considering environmental factors in planning their weddings, and 33 percent planned to have a green wedding. With a passionate, environmentally conscious generation of young adults currently graduating from U.S. colleges and universities, the green wedding could very well become the wedding of the future.

how to be more green in your home - Eco Friendly Home

Posted by simontoffel on 5th April 2010

I know we did eco friendly jewelry last post, but we couldn’t help but really appreciate Good Housekeeping’s recent tip list on how to be more green in your home, and it’s very creative so we just had to share!

* Plant trees around the house strategically (on the south and west sides; shading the air-conditioning unit, if possible) to save up to about $250 a year on cooling and heating.

* Install dimmer switches in the living and dining rooms, and three bedrooms, to dial down electricity fees about $37 a year.

* Switch your shower head. Since 1992 legislation, all new shower heads must have a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute or lower. Replace your old shower head and save up to $45 a month for a family of four.

* Wrap an insulation blanket around your water heater and lower its running cost as much as 9 percent.

* Run a full dishwasher whenever possible because it uses half or less of the water and energy of washing the same dishes by hand. And don’t waste water by rinsing before loading (today’s machines are designed to power off the mess).

* Invest in a faucet-mounted water filter for a low $30, and use refillable bottles such as the top-rated Nalgene OTG Everyday 24-ounce bottle. By giving up bottled water, a family of four can save about $1,250 a year.

* Magazines » Roll up a couple of these and stick one into each of your calf- or knee-high boots so the footwear will keep its shape.

* Empty paper-towel roll » Flatten, and use it to sheathe a knife kept in a drawer.

* Small glass food jars » These make perfect see-through storage vessels for nails, screws, nuts and bolts.

* Old shower curtain » Stash one in your car’s trunk to line it when carting potentially messy paints or picnic and beach gear.

* Used coffee grounds » Spread them over flower beds of acid-craving plants such as azaleas or rhododendrons.

* Plastic tub » Get the largest-size container of yogurt, sour cream or margarine. When done with the tub, rinse and reuse it as a travel dish for pets or for craft-supply storage.

* Plastic gallon milk jug » Cut off top with a utility knife just above the handle and use as a scoop for kitty litter, birdseed and other items.

* Plastic mesh produce bag » Turn it into a no-scratch scrubber for a gunky pot or pan. Ball up the bag, scour, then throw the whole mess away.

We are promoting eco friendly environment so more n more people know about it and try to use green jewelry, eco friendly green boxes, eco friendly handbags, bags and use the tips mentioned above to make your home eco friendly as well.
