If food is love, is sustainable food lasting love?
For Valentine’s Day – or any day – give your sweetheart something that’s as good for the planet as it is for your relationship. Here are my top 10 recommendations for an eco-friendly Valentine's Day:
1) Give edible flowers and herbs instead of roses
2) Have dinner at a restaurant that supports local farms
3) Cook at home instead of going out
4) Use common foods to make delicious beauty products
6) Get into the spirit of the holiday by making red foods
7) Buy sustainably harvested aphrodisiacs
8) Buy locally made chocolates
10) Go for local or organic libations

Great bunch of ideas! Thank you!
Great ideas, Leah. I'd also add that giving plants is one of my favorite ideas. One year I got a bamboo plant and it was still alive and happy five years later.
