Summer is wedding season, especially on beautiful Cape Cod. The Green Tips for June will offer suggestions for creating more sustainable weddings. Weddings can be very expensive — from travel and food to flowers and party favors — the “big day” often comes at a big expense to wildlife and the environment. But it doesn’t have to. Your celebration can be an opportunity to make sustainable choices. One of the biggest decisions is the location. Keeping it local will cut down on the transportation costs and carbon dioxide emissions of flying everyone to an exotic destination wedding. Choose a nonprofit owned venue like a church, historical site, nature center, museum or park whose fees support their mission. Look for venues with strong sustainability policies such as responsible waste management & use renewable energy.
