Nothing says love like caring for the earth! Here are some great ways to spend valentines day while being environmentally conscious. 

Look into Sustainable Chocolate Brands!

Try to Stay Away from Hand-Picked Flowers

What?! No flowers on Valentine's day! While flowers are a token valentines gift, an abundance of pesticides are used to keep the flowers alive through the winter. Some alternatives to hand-picked flowers could be crochet flowers or resin flower necklaces. Crochet flowers will last your partner way longer than a few weeks and serve as a cute centerpiece no matter what time of year. Check out the Etsy stores below for great crochet flower bouquets.
