ECO WEDDING GIFTS

Try something new: take canoeing, kayaking, surfing, or paddleboard lessons.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something … green? This wedding season, consider gifting something eco-friendly. If there’s no gift registry or you’re going off-registry (and it can be a good idea to ask the couple’s preference first) consider these:

• sustainable home cleaning supplies

• home goods made by a local artisan

• gardening supplies or plants

• outdoor gear, such as for camping

• a non-material experience gift, such as a gift certificate to a local business or service

• a donation to an environmental nonprofit

• cash—it might not be fancy, but it can be put to good use!

Celebrate the summer solstice. Look up community events, or simply spend time in nature and mark the occasion in a way that feels right to you.

Offer to help your neighbours weed their gardens or do yardwork.
