All-green wedding gift registration
In the world of green weddings, this might be a sort of green limbo. How green can you go?You can buy an eco-friendly wedding dress, get eco-friendly wedding favors, choose local, sustainable food, and opt out of the Hummer limo, Can you also get your guests (including Grandma and brother-in-law Ricky who both thinks the environment is totally %$&*@#% fine.) to buy earth-friendly gifts?
All Green Wedding is the wedding and gift registry site that not only helps you find green vendors, but has a partial purchase option. This could actually be useful for those of you who want a bamboo bicycle or an energy efficient washing machine.
Stores like Global Exchange, the human rights and now fair trade non-profit, and VivaTerra. VivaTerra specializes in sustainable home wares. Apparently, Land's End, Dell and Amazon.com are also green enough to be listed. But I was a little more impressed by Uncommon Goods and Green Demolitions. Uncommon Goods has everything from desktop items to kitchen utensils. Not all of them are earth friendly, but the company "endeavors" to be "at harmony" with the Earth. (so does BP Oil, for that matter)
Green Demolitions has recovered kitchen and bath goods as well as furniture. Their stated mission is
Recovery Unlimited is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is two-fold: 1) supporting the outreach programs of All Addicts Anonymous (AAA), a Twelve-Step program adapted for all addicts and all addictions, and 2) operating Green Demolitions, an "entrepreneurial charitable enterprise" which generates the income to fund both the AAA outreach programs and the Green Demolitions donation program and retail stores.

Thanks for this article. As a newlywed i considered all green weddings, but ended up registering with www. registerlocally.com. It was less complicated and I liked the idea of registering for local gifts as well as earth friendly online gifts. Either way....go green weddings! Rachel
