Eco-Chic Weddings

Planning a wedding this year? It is definitely a great time to make your wedding a green wedding. Green weddings do not have to be more expensive than traditional weddings. As a matter of fact, they are often less expensive. Not only are green weddings the height of style right now, they are healthier and better for everyone including the earth. If you are looking for a resource to help you plan a green wedding, Eco-Chic Weddings: Simple Tips to Plan an Earth-Friendly, Socially Responsible, Affordable Green Wedding is a good place to start. It provides all the resources you need to create your environmentally friendly and fun celebration on a budget, such as:

  • Use in-season flowers to save on price and reduce the environmental cost of shipping in non-local flowers.
  • Skip the save-the-date card and save some trees–and a lot of hassle.
  • Don’t purchase items you will only use at the wedding; instead, invest in dresses, shoes, or glassware you will alter and reuse.

From the location to the dress to the menu, there are dozens of easy ways to make your wedding beautiful and still reflect your personal beliefs in sustainable living.

Eco-Chic Home Decor from inhabit

April 28, 2012 By

PROGR-Propeller in Grass
This wall art, Propeller in Grass, is made from 100% sustainable recycled polyester. It is handprinted and handmade in the USA with environmentally-friendly inks with no chemical waste or disposal generated.

With so many years of unbridled consumerism behind us, it is nice to realize that there are really companies that are working to change the way we live, and the way we decorate our homes. One of those companies is inhabit, a home decor company that uses sustainable and environmentally friendly materials to make their home decor products.

One of their products, Wall Flats, won Interior Design Magazine's Eco-Friendly Product of the Year.

"Wall Flats are Inhabit's take on a modern, eco-friendly wallpaper. A modern embossed three-dimensional wallcovering that is good for the environment. Does it get any better than that?

Wall Flats are made from 100% bamboo pulp, one of the world’s most renewable resources. No trees were harmed in the making of this product:) They are a sustainable wallcovering that is free of chemicals and will not be a burden to the environment at the end of it's lifecycle, since the tiles are 100% bio-degradable.

Wall Flats are designed to expand in any direction with an automatic pattern repeat and can be painted to coordinate with your decor. You can cover an existing wall with Wall Flats, help disguise a not-so-smooth wall or add a modern, green wallpaper to any room setting through patterning."

Most of inhabit's products are designed with geometric or nature related patterns and motifs.

Are You Looking for a Travel Adventure?

Gap Adventures

I have just discovered the most unique travel company that I have ever heard of that specializes in exciting travel adventures, called GAP Adventures. GAP stands for the Great Adventure People.

This is a really amazing company that has all kind of group tours from hard core active back roads trips to unusual polar expeditions, to special limited edition trips that specialize in photography or other specialties. Some of their trips are appropriate for familes, and others are meant for just adults.

One of the most interesting things about this company is their dedication to sustainable travel practices.

"As a leader in sustainable adventure travel, Gap Adventures is dedicated to offering low-impact tours that benefit traveller and host alike. We work with local communities, businesses and individuals to develop sustainable tourism opportunities that help local economies while minimizing negative environmental and cultural impacts. While our sustainable tourism policies and operator standards are constantly evolving, our commitment to socially and environmentally conscious travel has been with us since the company's inception."

GAP has several pages on their sustainable travel policies and how they operate. If you would like to read more about it, click here.

If you would like more information, you can subscribe to the GAP Adventures travel newsletter - you'll be among the first to learn about new tours, contests and special offers.

The GAP's website is really interesting and fun to look through.  It is worth taking a look just for that alone.
