Be Mine? Be Green!

Valentines day, whether your taken or single, is a day to celebrate love. So how about we celebrate whilst also doing our bit for the environment?

This year, Valentines falls on Tuesday 14th February 2012, and I am very excited as I am being whisked away to a country lodge with my partner which will enable me to explore South Wales, which I personally find dazzling. 


But enough about me, since we all now need to be making better choices concerning the impact we’re having on the environment, surely this special day shouldn’t be an exception. A celebration of love should certainly involve showing your love for the world surrounding us as well. 


Zoe, part of the Wasteconnect team in the office, has put together a great fact sheet about where to buy your green gifts and includes some great ideas for an eco-valentines!

OTHER IDEAS...

Why not save on fuel emissions and take your loved one for a stroll in the countryside, a romantic bike ride or a picnic in the park? (Old fashioned girl, me!)
