I have never been married and have no intentions of ever doing so but I have always been fascinated by weddings. This fascination has been passed onto my daughter, apparently, as she is considering Wedding Planning as a career (along with horse camp owner, actress, fashion designer, research scientist, forensic anthropologist and engineer, to name a few). This joint interest of ours led me to discover a great site on green weddings. http://www.greatgreenwedding.com/default.php Many of the ideas can be applied to any kind of party or event and they are great ideas–donating leftover food instead of throwing it out; Food Not Bombs is one resource for that http://www.foodnotbombs.net/; designing email invitations instead of using paper ones, and giving live plants for party favors that can be replanted. If my daughter does get into this line of work, I’m hoping the things I teach her now about gentle impacts will encourage her to focus on creative, earth-friendly ideas.
