If going green is the foremost thing on your mind this Valentine’s Day, you’ve probably got some more important issues to resolve. *wink, wink*

That said, it’s ok to let it be about the 3rd or 4th thing on your mind.

Here’s 4 ways you can go green this Valentine’s Day…

Personally, I don’t put a whole lot of emphasis on the "romantic holidays" like Valentine’s Day and anniversaries.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re nice to celebrate (and I enjoy doing so), but why do we need a special day to celebrate and revel in our love for our soul mates?

Even worse is when those are the only days a couple expresses such love.

For that reason, let’s not count this as a post only about how to "Go Green on Valentine’s Day", but about how to spoil your lover in fun, green, and simple ways EVERY day of the year.

[Wham, take that institutionalism]

4 Ways to Green Valentine’s [and every other] Day

  • Give Green Flowers:
    OrganicBouquet.com has all your solutions for organic, veriflora, biodynamic, and fair trade certified flowers of all kind.
  • Also check out LocalHarvest.com to find an organic florist near you!

  • Send a Valentine’s Day eCard:
    Just like we showed you at Christmas, eCards are MUCH more creative while simultaneously averting a ginormous tax on the environment.
  • If you absolutely have to send a paper card, at least try following Hippy Shopper.com‘s advice and send a recycled Valentine’s Day card

  • Give a Fair Trade Valentine’s Day Action Kit:
    TreeHugger.com links to the Fair Trade Valentine’s Day Action Kit from Global Exchange. Each kit includes:
    1. A heart-box of individual chocolates (your choice of milk or dark)
    2. A bundle of NEWLY DESIGNED Valentines to send a directly to World’s Finest Chocolate with the detachable portion of each Valentine
    3. An Amore/Love Papel Picado banner
    4. An I Love Fair Trade Iron On, compliments of Transfair USA
    5. All bundled together in a red, recycled Kraft handled bag
  • Literally, REVEL In Your Love:
    Share in some sustainable sex. Is there any better–or more enjoyable–way to express one’s love physically? [Uh, that’d be a ‘hell no’, in my opinion.]
  • Bonus: A healthy sex life will both keep you healthier AND possibly reduce your heating cost.

    What are some environmentally friendly ways you spoil the one you share your heart, life, and soul with?

    I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
