If you’re looking for something beyond traditional Valentine’s Day gifts such as plastic-wrapped roses or chocolates in heart-shaped plastic boxes, we've got you covered. Here are some thoughtful, sustainable alternatives to celebrate the occasion with a partner, a crush, or a friend:
Choose Local Plants Instead of Roses
The mainstream flower industry racks up lots of emissions as flowers are imported from all over the world. Go local when you can, choosing locally grown varieties. If they're native flowers, even better! There are plenty of ways to give the gift of beautiful plants, sustainably.
Experiences Over Things
Memories last a lifetime. From a special date night to a weekend getaway, there are plenty of ways to share in experiences that typically have a smaller environmental impact than physical gifts – especially when they're local.
For minimal environmental impact, choose an outing that's accessible by bus, train, bike, or foot.
