47 Sarah’s Wildlife Friendly Wedding

<p>If you're planning your wedding, or have a friend planning theirs, this episode is for you. The idea of a virtual wedding seemed pretty geeky a year ago, but in the COVID era, suddenly the notion isn’t so far-fetched. But if you’re not going virtual, we have some other recommendations for you to shrink the footprint of your wedding.</p> <p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/123723/Ep_47_600.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="315" />In this follow-up to episode 25 of the <em>GrowthBusters</em> podcast, Sarah Baillie reports on how she made her wedding “wildlife friendly.” Sarah wrote the <em>Wildlife Friendly Wedding Guide</em>, and told us about this before her own wedding in episode 25 (link below). At the time she was just embarking on planning her own wedding, so we invited her back to report on the blessed event.</p> <p>Sarah is Endangered Species Condoms Coordinator at the Center for Biological Diversity, so we also asked her for an update on this program (we are big fans), especially during the pandemic period of isolation.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wildlifefriendlywedding.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Wildlife-friendly Wedding Guide</em></a> (e-version is free)</p> <p><em><a href= "http://www.growthbusters.org/green-wedding-episode-25/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">How to Have a Green Wedding</a> – GrowthBusters</em> Episode 25</p> <p><a href= "http://www.growthbusters.org/bury-mom-in-the-back-yard/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Bury Mom in the Back Yard?
