Raeleen and I had the pleasure of volunteering our photography skills at the Seattle Green Festival this year in the Convention Center. Normally, wedding photography is our thing, but any chance to help raise awareness of all the great eco-friendly products out there is right up our alley. We spent Saturday and Sunday seeing everything from elephant poo paper, to fair trade coffee. I feel that Seattle is really getting a good chance to do some good for our environment and maybe seeing some of the great products out there will help us all think green when we plan our events, especially weddings. If any of you have questions about some of the products, don’t hesitate to email me or comment on the blog. Also, if you go to the Green Festivals website all of the products and vendors are listed.
This necklace is made from an old recycled typewriter key! Wouldn’t this be a sweet bridesmaid gift for your green Seattle wedding?
More awesome pendants from old typewriter keys.
Again, how cute would these old watchface bobby pins be for a bridesmaid or a wedding gift?
These are awesome! How great would these look on the groom and groomsmen at your wedding? Very cool.
These sketchbooks were made using recycled floppy diskettes. Some of them are 8″ disks! Really great idea using the tough material in a green way.
Rae couldn’t stop at one, we must have sat there for 45 minutes going through all the recycled glass pendant pieces for the perfect ones. These pieces are the remnants from glass blowers and these pieces are refired into pendants and earings to be used for jewelry. Very unique and great colors.
This monster was encouraging all the people at the show to use more plastic bags to help destroy the environment. Scary.
This bowl was made from recycled plastic wrappers. Creative use for a material that won’t biodegrade.
These chrome razors are awesome! No more disposible plastic and they look great. This would be a great wedding gift for your groom. RetroRazor website
This was a great kids area at the Green Festival where extremely talented actors taught children all about the environment and how to keep down energy consumption.
The lady holding the worms gave an awesome talk on apartment composting using red worms. No smell, and great soil can come from such a simple composting box.
Nothing like a fresh organic beer after a long day of photo-volunteering!
Thanks for looking and we hope to see you all next year at the Green Festival in Seattle!
