Show Some Green Lovin’

Since we all now need to be making better choices concerning the impact we’re having on the environment, surely this special day shouldn’t be an exception. A celebration of love should certainly involve showing your love for the world surrounding us as well.

Cards

Buy recycled, recycle any cards received, or alternatively, make you own cards.

Flowers

The Organic Flower Company http://www.tofc.co.uk/ has sourced organic growers far and wide to build up a supply, as well as supporting UK based growers in order to cut down on air miles.

By Nature have teamed up with the Organic Flower Co, providing flowers from the same sources for slightly cheaper.

Chocolate

Fair Trade chocolates say you care more, and not just about the recipient. For gift ideas go to Green and Blacks.

If you’re extremely carbon-conscious (or if you agree that it’s so much more romantic), you could make your own homemade chocolates with a personal message on to intimately feed your valentine.

Wine and Champagne

Celebrate with organic wine or champagne. Organic wines are made from grapes which are cultivated without recourse to synthetic fungicides, herbicides or fertilisers. Tesco have a range of organic wines at reasonable prices.

Organic Champagne also produce a wide range of organic beverages.
