As a part of our One Small Change Project we hope that you will consider making small eco friendly changes around holidays. Valentines Day is right around the corner and this could be a perfect time to make a green statement to the one's you love. It is a time to show love, but not just to people...love your planet and show our Earth some TLC. Below are a few thoughts on how you can go green for Valentines Day.
1. Instead of purchasing flowers, buy a plant
2. Purchase Fair Trade coffee or chocolate for your honey
3. Send E Cards to your loved ones
4. If you choose to send paper cards, select cards made with recycled paper
5. Have a romantic meal at home using organic ingredients
6. If you choose to go out for dinner support your local restaurants
7. If you choose to give a gift, shop small businesses and purchase sustainable and/or hand made items
Please add your thoughts in the comments! Happy Valentines Day!!

A friend of mine started a challenge, this Valentine's season, to say "I love you" without purchasing a thing. She calls it CrowdSourcingLove, and I talk about it, and give it a shot, here: http://amysreallife.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/crowdsourcing-love/

ReplyDeleteditch the balloons, too! they create solid waste without reason, and confuse critters into thinking it's food.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these great ideas.
