With wedding season fast approaching, we're all looking for ways to cut the carbon cost of attending four, six, ten, even twelve couples' Big Day. Keep your green ethics intact by wearing clothes you already have (even if the other guests have already seen your party dress) and dressing them up with accessories and shoes; encouraging your friends to forego favors and programs; and helping the brides you're closest to source local flowers and wine—then keep these other steps in mind to make the Big Day a little smaller.
Even couples who truly believe that all you need is love still end up with a registry full of the same glassware, serving platters, linens, and picture frames as every other soon-to-be-married pair. Think outside the list with recycled champagne flutes, reclaimed wood decor, and custom artwork that help your favorite couple live a greener life right from the start.

Which is greener: Flying or driving? That's a no-brainer. Individually speaking, airplanes produce scads more CO2 emissions that cars. Are there any cases where flying is better than driving? Yes, there are. Let?s look at some of these instances.

Some people are born with a gift for shopping: They can walk into a discount store, a department store, or a thrift store and immediately zoom in on the pieces that are the most flattering, stylish, and well-preserved. And while this gift might not change the world, it sure is helpful when you?re trying to cut your fashion spending while greening your wardrobe.
