Carbon Neutral is Apparently Hilarious To Some

I got a lot of laughs today at work when I mentioned that one of my top goals for my wedding was to have a “carbon neutral or even a carbon negative footprint.” This came after some discussion in which some co-workers of mine were teasing me about spending too much money.  Although I think I am still on my budget, I do think it’s important to keep the planet in mind when hosting a big party like a wedding.

Cynical types would argue that to be the most environmentally friendly I should just elope and spare everyone the pain and inconvenience of travel. In reality, weddings are just too much of a part of the culture to dismiss altogether. Plus, I like the idea of hosting one big cool party for my family and friends.

Anyway, I am determined to keep the environment in mind at every turn! No matter how much Sherry makes fun of me for it… :)
