February is the month where love is celebrated, with red roses, red-ribbon wrapped chocolates, and red heart-shaped Valentine's cards. This year, why not say "I heart you" to both your sweetheart and your mother (Mother Earth of course).
Here a few tips and our favorite products for the green at heart to make your Valentine's Day more eco-friendly.
what would mother nature do?
- Instead of driving to a restaurant for a Valentine's Day dinner, take mass transit or cook a romantic dinner from home.
- Bake cookies or other goodies for your valentine and package them in reusable and/or recyclable containers as gifts.
- Buy cards that use recyclable paper, send e-mail cards, or make your own.
- Buy organic flowers or live bushes, shrubs, or trees that can be planted in the spring
- Give green gifts such as the ones we have picked, or make a donation to an environmental organization.
