I'm Jim Parks and this is Today's Green Minute.
The average wedding creates 400 pounds of garbage and spews [ahem] 63 tons of CO2.
Multiply that times 2.2 million weddings a year and it’s easy to see that the wedding
business has a big environmental footprint.
Kate Harrison, having been an environmental educator and government environmentalist on
state and national levels, noticed how few eco-friendly choices existed as she planned
her own wedding.
She spent hundreds of hours researching online, and Thegreenbrideguide.com is the result of
her research and her passion for the environment.
The site helps brides connect with local green vendors, and makes the choice for a green
wedding easy and obvious. Wedding vendors – like hotels, limos, and caterers - are
evaluated on a variety of aspects including their mission, certification, eco-friendliness,
and practices.
Green weddings are a big deal, since more than half of a wedding budget stays local,
and this year’s online wedding market is worth about 16 billion dollars!
