Outside of the chocolates, roses and dinner reservations, there are many ways to green your Valentine's Day. Be it a date spent out in nature, or an eco friendly gift idea, check out some of these ways to show the earth you love her too!
Dinner at Home
Make a romantic, organically candle lit dinner at home. It's cheaper, less stress of finding a reservation at the right place, and perfectly private - ooh lala!
- Handmade Cards
- Make your own cards or support a local artist who hand makes cards from recycled materials. Also shop online at spots like Tiny Prints.
- Skip the Flowers
- Buy and give a locally, organic grown plant. Your loved one will be able to enjoy it a lot longer then expensive flowers that will wilt as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the 15th ; ) Or better yet, plant a tree and as your love grows, the tree will be a reminder of when the seed was planted!
Organic Chocolate
- Opt for local, organic, fair trade and/or vegan chocolates. Not only are they healthier for your body, they are healthier for the earth and its inhabitants!
- Romantic Picnic
- Instead of the usual dinner date, go on a hike and pack a picnic. Get out in nature and enjoy a delicious meal overlooking a gorgeous view!
- Get Wild!
- Book a retreat in a wildlife reserve, park or natural area.
Ice Skating
Volunteer!
Sow the Seeds of Love
No matter if you've got a honey or not, be sure to make it a day full of love and fun!
