 # Zero Waste Event #
 
-While there are trash bins available at our venue, we'd like to avoid
-using them as much as possible
+Laurel and Don share a mutual love of the outdoors and enjoy hiking,
+camping, and kayaking together. Together, they try to make choices
+that will keep the world beautiful and healthy for them, their
+children, and many people in the future. In the spirit of stewardship
+and respect for natural resources, they ask your help in making this
+wedding weekend as close as possible to a Zero Waste Event.
 
-To that end, we're providing washing stations for your reusable
-plates, cups, and utensils, but we're not providing disposable kitchen
-wear.
+Zero Waste Events are events where no new trash is created which must
+be stored in a landfill. This is accomplished by minimizing the use of
+new materials (by doing things like using reusable dishes) and
+choosing recyclable materials when new materials are needed. The heart
+of Zero Waste is the acknowledgement that the Earth is a closed system
+and humans cannot afford to convert precious natural resources into
+landfill waste.
 
-We'll also be recycling as much as possible, and we invite you to join
-us in our efforts.
+Please help us in being good stewards of the earth and working toward
+a sustainable humanity.
