Today’s Solutions: July 28, 2026

Valentine’s day provides a good opportunity to spend some quality time with the person you love. It also provides businesses and companies to woo you into buying a bunch of stuff you really don’t need. The truth is that Valentine’s day has become overrun by consumerism, and it’s become absolutely normal to buy your loved one disposable gifts that barely get a moment of attention before being thrown away. Of course, it’s the thought that counts, but then again, you could be more thoughtful and spend your money on something that doesn’t hurt than environment. For an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day, here’s the quick notes

  1. Dine at a locally sourced restaurant.
  2. Upcycle your Valentines’ Gift by creating something special.
  3. Get Scrappy with fabric bits.
  4. Instead of flowers, give a potted plant!
  5. Gift a natural non-toxic perfume.
