Green Hearts

If you're like us you may be running around today, grabbing last minute gifts for your Honey, overwhelmed by the sudden realization that your procrastination could lead to relationship annihilation. As you're wracking your brain for ideas we'd like to make a suggestion, a sponsible suggestion.

This Valentine's Day, why not show your love for your sweetie with a gift that won't just save your relationship, but quite possibly the world too? Satisfy her sweet tooth as well as your sense of sponsibility by bhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifuying her a box of rainforest-grown chocolates?

Both Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe carry Endangered Species Chocolate Co. bars in a variety of flavors and intensities. We've tasted them and can vouch for their taste as well as their sustainability.

While flowers are a traditional Valentine's Day gift, why not buy her a living plant instead? Plants continue to draw CO2 from the air and emit oxygen long after cut flowers have wilted. Plus, they'll serve as an everpresent reminder of your love for her.

Finally, take your best girl out tonight for a meal that's not just delicious, but earth-friendly. Cities across the country now host a variety of organic, vegan and vegetarian restaurants, all of which engage in fair trade and sustainable practices. And because such restaurants are just outside mainstream appeal, you should have a good shot at getting a reservation for this evening, assuming you call right... now.
