LUV is in the air!  With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you’re probably starting to plan that special night for two.  On the upcoming day of LUV, why not make it Green?  Here are a few tips to add some green to your Valentine’s Day:
  • Watch your LUV grow all year—Instead of cut flowers, think about a beautiful flowering plant that will show LUV all year long.  You could even create an indoor herb garden and make it a year round project for two!
  • Plan a green date—Instead of going to a restaurant, why not take nature along with you on your day of LUV?  Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year, it’s the perfect time for a romantic outdoor getaway such as hiking, camping, or sightseeing.
  • From the heart—Instead of buying pricy gifts, make it personal and make your own DIY valentines and crafts using recycled paper and supplies. One craft idea is painting a mason jar and writing on little pieces of paper everyday what you LUV about your loved one.
  • Cook with LUV—Create more LUV with food!  Cook a nice meal with your darling on the most romantic night of the year.  LUV the environment too by making an organic meal that is healthy for two lovebirds.  Make sure to use glassware and those good plates for your dinner, and ditch the paper and plastic.  Save leftovers from your dinner of LUV in reusable containers.
How are you going to show your LUV this Valentine’s Day?
