Happy Valentine's Day

Ok, coming from the home of Hallmark cards, I admit it, I'm still a sucker for paper cards. I know, I know. The trees, the energy it takes to make them. Still, this is one environmentally unfriendly thing I still can't resist.

Jodi Helmer gives some tips on "The Green Year," for a more environmentally friendly day for love:

Order organic bouquets if you are going to give flowers (there are many companies on the Internet)

Prepare a candlelit dinner at home for you and your beloved. Turning out the lights will not only save energy, but not going anywhere is good for the environment too.
And in this economy, who can afford a grand meal out anyway?
