Say No to Paper Napkins:

Americans use 2,200 of them a year, or six a day. If we gave up one paper napkin daily, a billion pounds of paper would be prevented from going into landfills every year.

Another green option is to invest in renewable energy credits to offset your wedding's impact on global warming. To put it simply, RECs represent the environmental benefits of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. A wind farm, for instance, gets RECs for the electricity it produces.  When you buy RECs and support green energy, you're counterbalancing the emissions associated with airline and automotive travel. According to Treehugger, "The most recognized certifier of RECs is Green-e, an independent, non-profit group that verifies renewable energy credits and certifies that they are what they claim to be."
.
And as you're balancing emissions with renewable energy credits, remember to balance your green leanings with as much fun as possible. After all, every sheet of recycled paper that you manage to use and every organic farmer that you can support will help make the world a better place as you celebrate your anniversaries in the years to come.
