There are many ways to celebrate the day while remaining sustainable and giving gifts that do not require any waste or single-use plastics. Many Valentine\u2019s Day items and trinkets sold in stores for Valentine\u2019s Day contain plastic packaging, are laminated in plastic, are not recyclable or are thrown away gifts that will be tossed within weeks or months of the day. Considering all of this, we\u2019ve come up with a list of ways to have a more sustainable Valentine\u2019s Day and to reduce single-use plastic and foam. If you have kids at home, many of these can be a great way to have them involved in the process while teaching them ways to make conscious choices.<\/p>\n<p>The best gifts come from the heart &#8211; after all, they say that it is the thought that counts. When they are hand-made or sustainable, they will be that much more meaningful and likely to be remembered. Make, bake, or craft a gift from your heart or if you must purchase a present, find brands that are already using sustainable 100% recycled packaging. Whichever presents you choose, these ideas will add a touch of romance while being more green this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1664px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.88%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h3><b>Skip the Store-Bought Card<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Many cards in the grocery store or pharmacy are often laminated in plastic or contain glitter and these are not recyclable.

Decorations<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Like cards, many store-bought decorations &#8211; balloons, banners, and table cloths, contain plastic and are not recyclable. The best way to spruce up your space for the big day is to again create your own! Grab a paper and cut out hearts, attach them to a string for a bunting banner to hang around your window or mantel. You can also craft your own table cloth. Thrift a white piece of fabric and use heart-shaped stamps and fabric paint to place the hearts in a pattern across the fabric.

When doing your grocery shopping for your romantic morning, look for food in 100% recycled paper packaging like eggs in paper egg cartons.
