St Valentine’s Day... with a conscience
Compiled by Heather McGee-Parkin
St Valentine’s day has become a true celebration of all things passionate. Cassanova (factual) and Don Juan (fictional), notorious for their illicit affairs and passionate gestures are aspired too.
St Valentine’s day should be celebrated, especially in these times when all we seem to hear about is economic decline and instability. Let’s give stability to what we know. Love.
St Valentine’s day is big business and as such has the potential to have substantial impact on the environment. If St Valentine’s day is an important day for you, share that extra bit of love for the environment by carefully considering what you buy.
Here is a list of Eco-Friendly Valentines ideas:
Self Love
Drop everything, this day is for YOU. If there is someone else in the picture great, if not great, this day is about love and self love is truly one of the best kinds.
