This Valentines Day, fall in love with the environment.
Around a billion valentines are sent each year globally, making it the second largest card-sending holiday. This year, show your love without chopping down all those trees. Here are a few tips for spreading greener gifts:
- Instead of buying a paper card, send an e-card. It’s not only easy and better on the environment, but it’s free! (If you must stick with a paper card, look for ones that are 100% post-consumer waste recycled or tree-free.)
- If you really want to buy something unique (and green) for your loved one, make a donation to an environmental organization on behalf of them. (We happen to know a good one.)
- Lastly, stay at home to celebrate together. Cuddle up with a good movie, cook up a romantic dinner or bring out the board games!
