SUSTAINABLE VALENTINES
• Buy a single rose for your sweetie instead of a dozen. Take the petals from a second rose and make a path to a desired location, maybe a bubble bath or a pair of wine glasses and truffles.
• Choose soy candles made in the United States instead of wax.
• Send romantic e-mails or text messages throughout the day on the 14th.
• Suggest that each of you create a Valentine card from found materials at home. Keep the message short, sweet and from the heart if you're worried about writer's block.
• Shop for green gifts at local co-ops.
• Ask your neighborhood florist for locally grown roses.
