Couples are getting creative about how to reduce their carbon footprint as they walk down the aisle. Fox News cites a report from the Knot, a website and publication for wedding planners, which lists some of the more eco-friendly choices: sending e-mail invites; serving local, sustainably grown food; choosing a wedding gown made of all natural fibers; honeymooning at an eco-resort, and hosting “charitable” showers at, say, a soup kitchen. Nice to know that more and more people are saying “I don’t” to needless nuptial excesses when they say “I do.”
