Have a "Green" Valentine
We know red is the traditional color of Valentine's Day, but we've found a few ways to make the day a bit 'greener.' Driving, flowers, cards - many of the traditional gifts have more of an impact on the environment than we sometimes realize. Here are some interesting ideas that provide an eco-twist to the usual Valentine's Day treat:
- Shop greener. Shop online instead of driving and choose online shops that are Eco-friendly with sustainable business practices. Nubius Organics offers free shipping on all items over $50 in the U.S. Take advantage of this and buy your sweetheart something cool, don’t pay shipping AND save gas!
- Give flowers & more! This year why not buy flowers that help benefit charitable organizations? Choose National Wildlife Federation Daisies or Healthy Child Gerbera Daisies. You'll surprise your loved one with an unexpected bouquet of big, colorful daisies & can feel good that 5% of the purchase goes back to a good cause.
- Decadent Organic Chocolates. All chocolate is not created equal. On Valentine's Day treat your heartthrob with a Swiss Certified 20 Piece Truffle Gift Box of chocolate that uses European Union organic standards. That means no chemicals or toxins, sustainable farming techniques, the ecosystem is protected and biodiversity is conserved. The chocolate melts in your mouth with no artificial flavors.
