Here’s how to be an environmentally friendly Cupid.

  • Cook a Romantic Dinner – Make your Valentine’s a feast-for-two in the microwave, or prepare cheese or chocolate in a fondue pot, two low-energy ways of preparing small meals. Also by not driving to a restaurant you will have lowered your carbon footprint for you and your date.
  • Homemade Gifts – Using recycled items to make Valentine's cards and gifts is the way to go if you want that extra personal touch. This helps to recycle old things to make something new and memorable.
  • Take a Moonlight Walk – What better way to be environmentally friendly than to enjoy the environment itself? There are plenty of other ways to enjoy Valentine's Day that are all green, but nothing is more green than being out in nature and enjoying the great views that are readily available to us day in and day out.
  • Go Organic – Purchasing organic flowers and chocolates is a pesticide-free way of showing you care. You can find these at most places online as well as many eco-conscious grocery stores.
