According to research, a typical three-day Indian wedding can generate waste of up to 1,500 kilos! The carbon emissions for such weddings usually stand at around 250 tons! And this is just a rough estimate. We usually tend to forget the bigger picture when we plan such important events in our lives. So, it is heartening to see celebrities like Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani paying extra attention to the environment while planning their wedding. The couple is all set to tie the knot in Goa on February 21 and they’ve made it an eco-friendly celebration. The main highlight, besides the many small steps, is that they have decided to plant trees after concluding all the ceremonies to minimise the carbon footprint caused during their three-day wedding celebration.
