Whether your gushing over your spouse or your dog, remember that Valentine’s Day ain't exactly eco-friendly. So ditch the waxy greeting cards and imported Cambodian roses, and find better-for-the-planet ways of expressing your love from divine.ca:Find a card alternative - Valentine’s Day has the highest sales of greeting cards throughout the year, second only to Christmas. Opt for cards made from recycled paper, send a Valentine’s Day eCard or even a plantable Valentine’s Day card, embedded with wildflower seeds.
Toast with eco-friendly wine - What makes a wine eco-friendly? Anything from being made with certified organic grapes, to being made at a local vineyard, to being sold in aseptic packaging, which is more lightweight than bottles, making transport simpler and reducing carbon emissions. (Editor's note: we heart Frogpond Farm's Cabernet-Merlot)
Cook dinner together. Purchase some organic or locally-grown ingredients and spend some time together in the kitchen.
Read 'Giving Greener Love' from Treehugger. Our best tip? Stop buying stuff and start spending time ;)
