With the wedding season around the corner many couples are
thinking of ways to have an environmentally sound wedding. There are several
things to consider when working towards a “green” celebration. Wedding
invitations on recycled paper, locally grown flowers and greens, organic and
local food, guests served on compostable paper plates, and flatware made of
corn, all are environmentally sensitive. Do we just use proper china and
glassware? What considerations do we make regarding the companies we use? All of these are very valid questions in
today’s green environment.

Occasions Catering & Special Events is a catering
company that works hard to be a green company from the office to the kitchen to
on-site catered events. They have
received a green company designation from Puget Sound Energy and continue to
strive to find new ways to protect the environment.
In the office, that
translates into using recycled paper for printing, lighting with low energy
bulbs, heating and cooling the building with an efficient system and using
several trash bins at each desk. The various bins are used to sort trash into recycling,
compost and non-recyclables.
While not romantic thoughts, composting and recycling are
valid concerns when choosing a company to be part of your wedding
celebration.
