Romantic dinners, flickering candles, and gorgeous bouquets: Going green doesn't mean you have to skip these Valentine's Day traditions. Want to set the mood this year in a more environmentally-friendly way? Consider these eco-friendly ideas to set the mood for Valentine's Day.
Non-toxic candles for Valentine's Day
Create a romantic atmosphere with flickering candles that smell wonderful. Regular candles lose their therapeutic factor when they release toxic smoke into the air; instead, choose soy and beeswax candles that are scented with essential oils for a safer, more eco-friendly alternative.
Organic, fair trade flowers for Valentine's Day
Flowers are a classic symbol of love, so set the mood with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that are organic and fair trade-certified. The best option is to buy locally, but if you cannot find flowers from a trustworthy source in your area, you can always look online by searching for organic, fair trade flowers.
Organic wine for Valentine's Day
It can be difficult to find a wine that is truly organic, because some wines are labeled so, even when they are only ninety percent organic, and others are not labeled organic, even when they are one hundred percent. Luckily, I was able to find a Good Housekeeping article that does all the work for you; check out these high-quality, organic red wines.
Don't miss out on the traditional Valentine's Day atmosphere, simply because you don't think you can achieve it in an environmentally-friendly way. Soy candles, fair trade flowers, and organic wine will help you set the mood for Valentine's Day in an eco-friendly way.
