  BEF "Greens" Two More Weddings

  BEF Green Tags were used to green two weddings during the first half of 2005. Kari Smith and David Wooley's wedding included wine and champagne from solar-powered wineries and beer from a wind-powered brewery. Devra Bachrach and David Wang gave their guests an option to buy Green Tags as part of their online registry, which resulted in offsetting over 33,000 pounds of CO 2 and other greenhouse-gas emissions. Both couples also purchased enough Green Tags to offset all carbon dioxide emissions associated with guest air and auto travel and site energy use for their special day. In addition, Devra and David ingeniously incorporated a model turbine in the design of their wedding cake!
