It might not feel like wedding season right now, but that's only because most people are in the planning stages, making it prime time for studying up on how to make a wedding green.
Kate L. Harrison, author of The Green Bride which made it onto our top 6 green wedding planning books list, is teaching an online course starting November 9.
The four-week online course is geared towards wedding professionals, and will teach you how to incorporate environmentally friendly wedding solutions into you clients' events, lowering both the financial cost and the carbon footprint.
The wedding industry is huge and there is ample room to reduce its impact on the environment. "There are over two million weddings a year in the United States and an average of 150 guests per wedding... With 45% of couples looking for green options this year, it has never been more important for wedding professionals to understand
the environmental impacts of weddings," says Kate Harrison.
The cost of the course is $375, and there's no doubt you'll make up the cost in money saved on the wedding, earned through gaining a market edge and customer good will, and on carbon offsets you won't have to buy!
