Top tips for an Eco Friendly Valentine's Day

LOVE THE EARTH AS WELL AS EACH OTHER WITH PLANET-FRIENDLY VALENTINE'S GIFTS FROM NIGEL'S ECO STORE

Celebrating Valentine's Day can use a huge amount of the earth's resources from trees cut down for cards, carbon emissions for transportation to pesticide laden roses. Here at Nigel's Eco Store we have come up with a range of ideas for a Valentine's Day that is all about giving love to the earth as well as each other.

Make your own card or support a local artist who hand makes cards from recycled materials.

Give your loved one a locally-grown plant! Bouquets in florists' windows have usually been grown on the other side of the world, have been transported thousands of miles and are covered in pesticides. Choose a locally-grown bouquet or plant instead.

Celebrate with organic wine or champagne.

For indulgence with a conscience give organic or fair trade chocolates to your loved one.

If you are splashing out on jewelery how about something fair trade, recycled or vintage?

Give organic, or hemp lingerie for your lover instead of pesticide-sprayed cotton or non biodegradable polyester.

Save energy and dine by romantic candlelight. It's more romantic and you'll save energy too! Use natural, beeswax or vegetable based candles that are biodegradable and smoke-free.

Make a meal at home - source local, organic, seasonal produce and add the ingredient of love to a meal especially created for the man or woman of your dreams.
