On Efforts of Persuasion 101
May 13th, 2008 by Diar A.
Until now I haven’t shown my dad anything (articles, news, etc.) in regards to ethical weddings, though already planned that. Well, I do have two articles from the internet, both in Indonesian (as my dad doesn’t speak English)—it’s so hard to get writing on earth-friendly weddings in my very own language.
The problem now: the two articles are too provocative. They talk about how green wedding is the trend in 2008, but they only talk about that on surface. In contrary with their humble titles, the contents are not humble at all. They suggest a sort of green theme, but not the ‘serious green’ one. For instance, they advised a venue to be decorated like a garden by having imported flowers and stuff. The point is that they emphasize their writing more on the style of the wedding itself, not how a wedding can also be one of your efforts to care about Mother Earth.
Oh, really can’t show those two to my dad.
