Green Hearts for Valentine's Day

Posted on February 8, 2020

We've talked about various holidays and how to make them green before, but we've never looked at Valentine's Day before. Many of the same gift ideas apply to Valentine's Day, such as giving experiences, choosing sustainable gifts, and spending time with the ones you care about.

But here are some Valentine's Day specific thoughts for you:

Sweet. Get some sustainable and ethical chocolates for your partner, friends, or even yourself! You can find these at Community Natural Foods, Calgary Co-Op, or any of the chocolatiers in Calgary!

Spicy. If it's a romantic gift you're looking for, why not a lovely potted plant? It lasts longer than cut flowers and is beautiful for much longer! 

Savory. If you're looking for some sustainable eating-out options in Calgary, there are some great options. Shokunin Izakaya is dedicated to environmental sustainability, as is Una Pizza. There are plenty of restaurants that are trying to being more sustainable. Sound off about your favourites in on social media!

These are just a couple of ideas for you. We'd love to hear your ideas, too! Share your green Valentine's Day plans and ideas on  Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
