Kate L. Harrison, author of The Green Bride Guide – How to Create an Earth-Friendly Wedding on Any Budget recently contacted me to let me know that she would be featuring and recommending our Fair Trade sports balls in her book.
Given that this is a book for brides, I was a bit surprised. You’ll find our eco sports balls featured in the book with an explanation about wedding party members tossing around a football before the big ceremony. Just don’t go for a diving catch; the wedding coordinator will not be happy with grass stains.
This is one eco-friendly angle I had not thought of until a few months ago when a friend went to great lengths to ensure her wedding was carbon neutral. We’ve also had quite a few customers who purchased our sustainable sports balls as “green” groomsmen gifts, but an entire wedding that is earth-friendly? What a great idea!
The more people we educate and open their eyes to sustainability and Fair Trade, the more diverse points of view we will accumulate. With every new person that joins the cause comes new ideas and viewpoints, which is beneficial to all.
When someone like Kate comes along with a fresh new idea, it is exciting for everyone in the industry. So if you or a loved one has a wedding in the near future, pick up a copy of The Green Bride as a way to encourage them to make the event more sustainable. Everybody wants a memorable wedding, and this is a sure-fire way to ensure it will be an event no one forgets!
