Summary

How many dolphins will die because of your wedding? Bloody none I hope! Here’s the thing, weddings are awesome but there can be a lot of waste (and I’m not even talking about money) when it comes to your big day. In Episode 83 of the wedding podcast, I was prompted to think about this topic and record this episode after a listen, Charlotte contacted me about ways that her partner could make sure that their event is environmentally and ethically sustainable. The old adage ‘every little bit help’ is really the key to this episode. I’m not suggesting that you go mental trying to make everything enviro-friendly but I hope by the end of the episode you will just consider being mindful of your carbon footprint and give back to others where you can!
