We know this is not a solution anymore but it is still the most basic action most of us can undertake ourselves, so at the wedding, we gifted citrus tree saplings (and rose plants) to our guests to take home and grow. We weren’t sure if any would take up the offer so ordered just enough for each family and…

We ran out of plants to give away as well XD

Needless to say, #ClimateWedding was a success!

We invited local #ClimateChange activists, who have worked themselves on projects locally with minimal recognition and support, to our #ClimateWedding. We shared their work in our wedding newspaper, and in an exhibit at the venue. We are immensely thankful to them. Link’s to their social media posts below.

We also had a wedding newspaper printed called “The JibRish Tribune”, explaining our motives for the #ClimateWedding, profiles of our celebrity cutouts, and most importantly, sharing the work and contact details for our local climate activists who so graciously agreed to be a part of our wedding.

Guests loved it so much, we have had to order a second print for them to keep!

#ClimateChange is a huge topic, even when talking locally, so we decided to focus on the two most immediate threats to the city - #Smog (air pollution) & #Heatwaves.

We shot short videos on these topics & placed their QR codes at the #ClimateWedding for our guests, explaining the issue & what could be done about it.

(p.s. english subtitles for the videos are still being worked on)

We recognize a guest or two at our #ClimateWedding might be controversial, but we believe their local recognition and their immense contribution to the world’s renewables movement are not things we can easily ignore.

At our #ClimateWedding (#JibRish), we invited a few cutouts of climate-conscious celebrities to the event who we knew our guests would recognize, and shared how they have been advocating and working for the climate.
