Love is in the air?

More like greenhouse gases! Valentine’s Day is coming up, so for the love of Earth, try some of these tips for greener gifts:

Candies

Bake your own cookies or sweets! To cut down on food packaging, use a reusable container.

Flowers

Don’t buy flowers that will only last for a few days. Instead gift a potted plant or flower that your loved one can enjoy all year round.

You can also recycle flowers by using them to decorate gifts or cards. Watch this short video for how!

Cards

Did you know that 65% of Valentine’s Day gifts are cards? This year, why not try making a unique homemade card using materials from home? You can use pressed flowers, decorative paper scraps, or even make your own recycled paper for the cards!
