5 Reasons to be an Eco-Bride

As important is it is, your wedding is just one day of your life. It may be your happiest day, but it doesn't release you from your responsibility.

Here are a few reasons why it's such a good idea:

1. You don't want the happiest day of your life to contribute to making life harder for your children and grandchildren.

2. Sometimes being Eco-conscious is also a really good way to be Econ-conscious... Save your money by reusing, recycling, and producing less waste!

3. Aside from being the responsible thing to do, it's also becoming tres chic to be conscious of your impact on the environment. This is one trend everyone should get behind.

4. You don't have to sacrifice things that are important to you to make a difference. Just be creative and think of little things you can do to make a huge difference—like using cloth napkins instead of paper monogrammed ones, perhaps?

5. Who knows? Maybe some of your guests will be inspired by your efforts to make your day environmentally friendly and go away to make little changes in their own lives. Imagine if all your guests just changed to energy efficient lightbulbs what a big difference that would make in the world! (Hey, there's another great favor idea!)
