For funerals, weddings and namings, the British Humanist Association can put you in touch with local celebrants.
life events
Celebrations, ceremonies and life events are important and can be great fun. But they can be lavish and often wasteful in terms of food, energy, materials and transport – the environment tends to be forgotten at such special times. So, act local, but think global.

TransportOften cars are hired to drive a couple of people and their guests just a few miles - using a more environmentally friendly option can also save money. If the venue is less than a mile, why not walk? Alternatively use public transport, or a horse and carriage. See Getting Around section and or Wellington horse and carriage co. |
