For just $1,600 Trees Instead will plant a lifetime of trees (approx. 1,000) to offset the average couple's lifetime Carbon footprint. The trees will be planted in forests across the United States, Canada, Israel and the Amazon and you can specify an area to commemorate the couple's first date spot, hometown, vacation or honeymoon locale or favorite region. Best of all, the price can be divided among guests making it an ideal group gift.
Like the idea but not the price? Trees can be purchased individually, and in half- and full-acres starting at $25.
All gifts come with an elegant Tree Certificate which includes a tree number so recipients can find the tree's location online.
Trees make great wedding favors too. With pricing as low as $4.99 each, wedding guests will receive a personalized Tree Certificate indicating that a tree has been planted to honor there presence at the wedding.

Hi! Just reading this blog, you are doing a great job! I love this idea about planting trees so much. Maybe I will make Daveypoo do it for me.
I did this on my honeymoon in Costa Rica! It was such an incredible experience to be able to give back during my honeymoon.
I used this website when planning my vacation..it's a great resource for eco-friendly hotels and lodges in Costa Rica and Nicaragua: http://www.uniquehoneymoondestinations.com/
I went to Lapa Rios Ecolodge and the Harmony (and planted trees in both!). But it looks like they are working with a new hotel in Nicaragua..if anyone has been, will they let me know how it is?!!
