What is a “Green Wedding Provider”?
A “Green Wedding Provider” can be defined as one who uses renewable resources (environmentally sustainable) and is accountable for the human resource aspect of their activities (socially responsible).
Driven by the economy, greater awareness of climate change, and consumer pressure to be eco-friendly, many wedding service providers are choosing to become green.
Being Green requires developing an attitude toward sustainability and practices that can be incorporated into our everyday lives.
Being a green wedding provider means changing the way you operate, purchase, develop, produce, and provide products and services so you make has a positive impact on the environment.
Being a green business means going beyond minimum standards.
When it comes to the environment, a green business exceeds all minimum legal standards and goes beyond basic compliance.
A green business not only develops practices that are specific to their line of business and keeps up to date on issues specific to their industry;
a green business also implements practices that are common to all businesses, such as reducing, reusing, and recycling.
Think of the planet as a warehouse of goods. When you use the goods, you have to pay for them with money or fair trade.
When you use the environment’s resources, you have to pay the environment back to offset your consumption.
