The recovering groom has just given up his bachelor pad and bachelorhood, had a great wedding followed by an amazing honeymoon and is embarking on a life journey with his new wife. GroomGroove.com knows the environment may be the furthest thing from the groom's mind, but we offer some creative (and a few tongue-in-cheek) suggestions on how he and his lovely new wife can save the planet (and have spectacular sex as well).

Hot and Sweaty Sex with no Air Conditioning

Good for the environment, good for the heart and good for newlyweds, turn off the air conditioning and then have at it. Air conditioning burns tons of electricity and your electricity bill has likely suffered this hot summer. Air conditioners pump out hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide per year. In fact, even an energy-efficient air conditioner will spill 736 pounds of CO2, according to National Geographic. Here's how to do it. "Honey," you'll say, "I'm Captain Planet and I demand that we turn off the air conditioning and do something productive for the earth." It works. Plus sweat is sexy. Trust us.

"Wifey, you're very, very dirty..."

Whether you've just had great sex or you're rolling out of bed for the morning routine, it's shower time! Grooms may be used to showering alone, but you're married now and so your morning routine may change. GroomGroove.com suggests you spice up your shower time by showering with your new wife. Nothing is hotter than cleaning and preening each other (if only from time to time). Buy her some nice-smelling soaps, one of those mesh bath puff things, and lather your new wife up. Get your fingers into her hair for a relaxing scalp massage. And if you really want to be environmentally-conscious, turn off the water while you get soaped up. Seriously -- by showering together you can really save a lot on your water-heater bill and conserve a precious resource.

New fridge?

When grooms and brides assemble their wedding gift registry, they ought to pick appliance (both small and large) that are EnergyStar models. Energy Star products (known for their distinct symbol) are often found on computers, dishwashers, laundry machines and refrigerators. These are among the most efficient appliances available. And if the stainless steel fridge is not on the wedding gift registry, it'll surely be on your list when stocking the matrimonial home.
