Here’s To Greener Lifestyles!

wine-bottle-glass-and-grapeThe wine industry is throwing their hat in the greener lifestyles ring and I for one couldn’t be happier.  By implementing biodynamic practices into vineyards, they are producing the most progressive style of wine to hit the market — organic.  In the wine world, organic refers to methods of growing that rely on the earth’s natural resources, instead of man-made ones. Pests and weeds are managed using earth-friendly means such as insects and mechanical controls.  Organic farmers build natural nutrients in the soil which help fertilize plants without the use of synthetics. The grapes are grown according to very strict standards. Essentially, the vineyards are managed using methods that are not harmful to our bodies and provide us with a natural product that will fit perfectly in our greener lifestyles.

Buying organic wine is not only a wise decision for one’s self and personal well-being but it is also a decision that supports what is right and best for our environment.  We need to move towards replacing the use of toxic substances with natural methods to procure a sustainable environment and ecosystem at every opportunity.  Simply drinking organic wine not only helps us to feel good, but helps the earth to feel good as well.  Isn’t that what is at the heart of greener lifestyles?

Green Cheers!

When You Say “I Do” Will You GO GREEN?wedding-couple

June has arrived and environmentally conscious brides/grooms are choosing to go green.  If you’re planning your eco-friendly wedding, here are some easy ways you can go green when you walk down the aisle:

  • Skip the flowers and have your wedding outdoors with natural scenery.  If flowers are a must-have, pick a florist who uses local organic sources.
  • Rent real glasses, dishes, linens and cloth napkins to avoid congesting landfills with disposables.
  • Select a central location and organize your wedding ceremony and reception in the same place to avoid excess carbon emissions from unnecessary travel.
  • Let your wedding party choose their own attire.  There is a much better chance of them wearing it again if you put the decision in their hands.  Encourage them to use sustainable fabrics or visit a vintage retailer. Read More→
