Big events can come with big carbon footprints, and weddings are no exception. Food and transportation are two of the main components of our individual carbon footprints, so it’s no surprise that those will likely be the largest sources of your wedding’s greenhouse gas emissions. This calculator will help you begin to understand the carbon emissions associated with your wedding, as well as where you can reduce your impact on the climate.
