婚|Wedding

這個網站最初的用途是拿來發自己的婚禮信息的。我們結婚時舉辦了一場真正的低碳婚禮。邀請時也是用短信把這個網址發給來賓,並介紹了我們對婚禮的思考。

我和太太的工作目标,都是要把世界變得美好一些,我們在生活中也盡力做到。所以在婚禮中,我們仔細斟酌了每一個細節,希望這一個過程對於自然資源沒有帶來負面影響。由於開始就有這樣的共識,我們在籌備過程中也避免了很多新人碰到的爭吵 🙂 

在把網站改為博客以後,依然保留了這個頁面,還添加了當時的一些照片。

我們當時還編寫了新聞稿,告訴大家這些小心思,並請朋友紀錄下來,請見此處連接

We had a real low-carbon wedding ceremony, by all definitions. This was such a sweet memory in our life so that we wished every detail could be remembered and we achieved this through our long-lasting commitments on nature and world. We re-considered all details in our wedding and reduced all possible negative impacts the event might pose on the planet. Fortunately, we did not have any trouble during the preparation. 

We invited our guests via SMS with a URL link, zhangyimo.com (it used to look quite different). Apart from information about time and venue, here are the paragraphs they could read, with pictures replaced by real scenes. 

The website is now revamped into a blog, but this page is kept as a souvenir. The texts below are original, even tenses not changed. 

為什麼要舉辦綠色低碳婚禮?

我們熱愛生活,熱愛我們的地球,熱愛我們的鄉土。我們希望環境能夠好轉,而文化也能夠能夠長久保存下去。所以我們除了在工作之中這樣做,在自己的婚禮上也毫不含糊。

這個綠色低碳的婚禮,是我們理念的綜合體現,我們希望我們的婚禮可以實現我們的理想,減少過度消費,降低污染排放,堅持本土優先,既宣告了人生的大事,亦秉承自己的態度。

我們希望親朋好友能夠分享我們的喜悅,更體驗一下我們的理念。綠色可以也應該很時尚,融入我們的每個生活細節。

為什麼不發紙請帖?

因為寄送紙質請帖需要請帖本身、信封,甚至需要快遞袋子,而目僅僅是告訴您時間地點。我們用網頁、郵件、短信等方法通知您可以達到同樣的效果,省去不必要的紙消耗,而且您可以即時向我們反饋信息。

來賓可以開車前往嗎?

請幫助我們舉辦一場低碳婚禮。也同時由於太原別墅旁停車位緊張,我們建議您乘坐公共交通前往。交通路線:軌道交通衡山路站,常熟路站,陝西南路站,肇嘉浜路,嘉善路,步行10分鐘可達。公交42,45,49,96路。

有幾位嘉賓是乘飛機來參加婚禮的,碳排放很高吧?

我們邀請了專業的環境諮詢公司,他們仔細計算所有外地來滬嘉賓的碳排放數量。我們為其支付所有相應的碳中和費用,並用於中國碳匯森林的建設。

婚禮現場一般都需要大量材料,你們呢?

我們盡可能減少一切不必要的裝飾和消耗,例如背景板、簽到簿等,並用電子設備替代。對於不可避免的打印材料和桌簽等,我們會使用回收的利樂®牛奶盒為原材料的再生紙。事實上,我們的所有裝飾均由酒店(而非婚慶公司)以安排,他們也盡可能重複利用所有物料。

還有哪些我們看不到的內容嗎?

我們出門時不放炮仗,也沒有用車隊和豪車,降低PM2.5的排放。晚上的草坪裝飾,是用白天衝電的LED燈,之後還在家裡長期使用。

餐後如需打包,我們準備了用甘蔗渣製成的打包盒子,丟棄之後對環境沒有損害。

本土與文化

除了低碳環保以外,本次婚禮還顧及本土特徵與文化:

我們的喜糖中用了最能代表上海和昆明的小食品——大白兔奶糖和普洱茶;

在所有文字材料中,我們均使用了正體漢字;

在婚禮的流程中,我們均用各自的家鄉話發言,以盡最大可能保留漢語應有的特徵——多樣性。

Why not paper invitation?

Because a paper invitation usually include an invitation itself, an envelope for it and even another envelope for courier, with the sole purpose of stating the date and venue.  

We now send you our messages via this webpage, email, SMS, WeChat, etc. to reduce unnecessary paper consumption, and you can tell us your availability any time!

Can we drive to the wedding?

Please help us on our low-carbon wedding. And also, there are limited parking lots in downtown, we would suggest you to take public transportation.

Metro Stations: Hengshan Rd.(Line 1), Changshu Rd.(Lines 1,7), South Shaanxi Rd.(Lines 1, 10), Zhaojiabang Rd. (Lines 7, 9) or Jiashan Rd. (Line 9), then walk 10 min.

Bus Lines: 42, 45, 49, 96.

Some guests come by airplanes. How about their carbon emission?

We have employed an environment consulting firm and they will carefully calculate the carbon emission of all guests coming to Shanghai. Then, we will pay for them to off-set their emission. The amount will be donated to carbon-sink forests.

Usually, weddings require lots of materials. How about yours?

We save all unnecessary decorations and consumption, e.g. background drops, registration books, etc., and replace them with electronic devices when needed. As for indispensable prints on tables, we will use paper made from recycled TetraPak® milk boxes. In fact, all our decoration is provided by the restaurant (instead of wedding companies). It also prefers to reuse most of the materials.

Anything else invisible to us?

We will not use firecrackers, which reduces the emission of PM2.5.  Shark fins are also excluded.

If foods are not finished, we also prepare boxes made from sugar canes for guests to pack away. These boxes can be decomposed by nature.
