How to throw an eco-friendly wedding? As simple as it seems, throwing a sustainable wedding or even trying to make an effort to do so is a challenge in itself. A wedding is one of the most precious day in a person’s life. Most importantly, its a lot of pressure to organize the perfect event. Sometimes people don’t realize the amount of carbon footprint wedding decors leaves. It is actually scary. Firstly, the amount of plastic and food wastage to use of air conditioning is most harsh on environment. In short, weddings use a huge amount of resources. Particularly, couples go out of their ways to create a lavish wedding. These 3-5 days events effect the environment negatively. Balloons, confetti as well as disposables for food and drinks and what not effects the mother nature.
Another reason for this wastage is our love for the glitz and glam of big fat Indian weddings. Likewise, these weddings have obscured the true meaning of this ceremony. That is unification of two individuals and their families and for love. Just like the bond of love is forever they say. The waste footprint of these big fat weddings are also forever.
