A Beginners’ Guide To A Sustainable Desi Wedding
05 months ago
Planning an eco friendly wedding is like planning any other event. There will be food, entertainment and decoration and guests will arrive. There will be a great deal of coordination and planning involved with other people, and of course delegating the right tasks to the right people. Making your wedding day more socially just and sustainable is a chance to make a difference and show others that weddings can be a force for good. I chose to have a sustainable wedding because i wanted that special day to reflect our values as a couple and a family and take on the challenge of having a wedding that was fun, traditional and yet socially responsible.
The first step is to have an honest discussion about your values with your wife or husband-to-be and your families together. Brainstorm ideas and value what everyone has to offer : you would be
A Round of Green Drinks, Anyone? Join us November 29, 2011

Green Drinks is an international phenomenon where like minded individuals meet up every month. Usually there are one or two speakers who share their experience and ideas for sustainable living and environmental responsibility followed by a lot of networking.

Grab for your Green Drinks while it’s hot!
Back in October PSN founders Nimra and Kurt met with the Apna Arsh Pakistan Founder Aeyesha to discuss the need for more environmental networking in Lahore and Pakistan. This is where the idea began to bring an international open-source movement to Pakistan. This platform is already happening in hundreds of cities all over the world, and it has been responsible for bringing groups and ideas together, and helping to aid the collaborative solution oriented approach that citizens, businesses, non-profits, student groups and more are leading.
The only challenge was: Where to host it? Most Green Drinks happen in informal pubs or watering holes that attract every shape of crowd to gather and talk about all things green. This was an opportunity to draw upon the very active chai culture and so our first event was at Jammin Java, on MM More >
