On Tuesday, the Athens Wedding Professionals luncheon featured Suki Janssen, from the ACC Solid Waste Department, on recycling at events and your wedding. Last week we were a sponsor and catered the Georgia Organics Conference at the Classic Center. The Solid Waster Department rented us a commercial compost for the event, which was beneficial in staying green at such a green focused event. The compost required a cement slab to operate. We were able to put food scraps and other things which would normally been thrown away.
Suki also talked about ways to give green favors at your wedding. She suggested using Preserve biodegradable plates, cups, utensils and environment friendly trash bags all into a recycled cloth bag. It made the cutest picnic basket, and is something the guests will certainly utilize later. Most of these products are currently available at Earth Fare.
I know this is an actual basket, but you get the idea.
You could also use the biodegradable plates and serving equipment at your wedding on the buffet line instead of glass plates.
So the lesson for today, recycle in style.
