Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart - An Eco-friendly Wedding
By
Here comes the Bride all dressed in… GREEN? Well, maybe the not the dress but the rest of the upcoming nuptials of Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford reportedly will be. This Hollywood power couple, who have been dating since 2002 and recently became engaged, are reportedly having an eco-friendly wedding. It is reported that at a Team Earth initiative in New York, Ford said: “I haven’t thought about greening my wedding. My wedding was always going to be green!”.
Ford is very involved in Team Earth which is an organization that “will unite businesses, non-profit organizations, scientists, educators, individuals and children in an international collective action campaign to address the most pressing environmental issues facing humanity”. On the organizations website Ford makes an eco-friendly statement writing “saving the planet won’t be easy — and it’s certainly not something you can do alone. That’s why I need your help — and that’s why I’ve joined teamearth.com. We all know that our planet is at a critical juncture: and humanity needs a healthy planet to survive.” Having an eco-friendly wedding is just one way that Ford is trying to practice what he preaches. The couple should be commended for planning an eco-friendly wedding especially because of all the media attention that the big event is bound to receive.
Although the two are one of Hollywood’s more low-key couples, that does not diminish the interest of E! News, TMZ, Entertainment Tonight, Insider, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, Extra, Etalk and Entertainment Tonight Canada etc… and not to mention all of the magazines. It has become commonplace for the intimate details and photos of celebrity weddings to be given exclusively to magazines like US Weekly, Hello and People. These articles often serve as inspiration to those who are planning their own walk down the isle. So maybe seeing an eco-friendly elegant wedding in one of these publications or even getting the scoop from an entertainment show will inspire a bride or groom to emulate this innovative couples idea’s.
We here at Planet Forward want to wish the happy couple all the best for an eco-friendly bright future and thank them for their commitment to Mother Earth. Don’t forget – a reusable water bottle makes for an eco-friendly wedding favor…sustainable love at its finest.
