Valentine's Day is a long-standing tradition.
Valentine's Day is dedicated for expressing love to those whom we admire from our heart.
But for the environment how are we going to show our love?
We can show a bit of extra love for the environment by carefully considering what to buy & how you celebrate.
Sending cards have been an inportant part of the celebration. According to the Greeting Card Association nearly one billion Valentine's cards are sent each year across the world;second in number only to Chrismas in 2010.A more planet friendly choice is to dispence paper card altogether & opt for E-Cards.
We also buy gifts to exchange like Chocolates,Perfumes,Candles,Flowers,Jewelry etc.We can start some novel gifting option like gift certificate,tickets for Movies or Concerts of choice, Membership for Yoga & Beauty treatments, Holiday Vouchers,Potted Plant, a tree seeding or a Perennial Plant etc.
It is possible to have a special,perhaps even more creative & memorable than usual.Valentine's Day celebration while still being environmentally responsible.Wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day.
