What are some "green" forms of transportation?

Every gallon of gasoline burned releases 19.4 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so it is important to think about alternative forms of transportation on your big day. Here are a few ideas:

(1) The easiest way to decrease the transportation emissions from your event is to have your wedding in a centralized location so your guests do not have to travel as far to get there.

(2) You can use services like Trip Hub to help guests organize carpooling.

(3) You can rent a bus or van to bring everyone who lives in one area together (a Philadelphia bus, a New York bus etc.).

(4) Ask your guests to take public transportation and offer a shuttle from the nearest bus or train station.

(5) Rent a hybrid. If you or your guests have to rent cars see if you can get hybrids or alternative fuel vehicles. Enterprise now offers the Toyota Prius at some of its locations. If you live in California or Arizona try EvRental. If you are in Hawaii you can use Bio-Beetle.

(6) See if you can arrange for non-motored transportation, like pedi-cabs or horse drawn carriages - so romantic!

(7) Reduce monetary waste by using an online flight finder like Kayak.

No matter how you travel - consider offsetting the carbon emissions from your travel.
