Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

The most significant impact green weddings can have on the environment is in their cumulative effect - in cutting out waste, in supporting green products and services, in setting an example for guests to follow a green path and in steering the multibillion-dollar wedding industry to shift to greener practices.

Mireya Navarro, a New York Times staff writer and author of “Green Wedding: Planning Your Eco-Friendly Celebration,” has some refreshing advice for couples who want to reduce the carbon footprint of their union: Don’t forget it’s a party.
