We’ve come up with some fun and tasty ideas to make this Valentine’s Day an unforgettable one inspired by an organic lifestyle.
Here are ten ideas to make it a happy organic Valentine’s Day:
- Buy organic chocolate! Cocoa beans have some of the highest pesticide loads of any crop. Due to weak regulations in countries that produce cacao beans, pesticides banned in the U.S. are still used in conventional cocoa farming. Organic chocolate means the chocolate is free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and GMOs. Valentine’s Day or not, there’s no wrong time to surprise your significant other with a rich, chocolaty treat. Get some chocolate inspiration here.
2. Locate and go to a restaurant that sources local organic food or get takeout. Use this organic finder app to locate the restaurants in your city that use organic ingredients. If you can’t find a restaurant, often searching on Yelp with the words “organic ingredients” can lead you to find new dining-out experiences.
3. Make a recycled Valentine’s Day card. About 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged each year, which makes for a lot of waste. Find a creative way to reuse materials in your office to make a recycled card for your Valentine this year.
