Green Your Valentine's Day: Green Gifts

If you give your Valentine a tchotchke or doodad, consider how soon it may end up in a landfill. Instead, consider planning a hike and a picnic in your mutually favorite nature spot. Other memorable small-footprint ideas include a day at an organic spa, a gift certificate to a vegetarian restaurant, a cooking or dancing class, tickets to a nearby concert or play, a subscription to a local CSA, or a digital playlist. You can even adopt a national park in your sweetheart’s name. If you do choose to give an object, check out Sierra magazine’s guide to green Valentine’s gifts.
