So, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner (this Saturday if you’ve forgotten) and I’m sure there’s plenty of fellas and ladies who are stumped on what to do for their special someone. Let’s face it, the recession is causing borderline depression across the nation and now you have to figure out how to make it through another holiday!
Not to worry! Live Earth and some other friends of Mother Earth have come up with a great list of ways to enjoy the company of your Honey and your Home (earth). (photo credit: Miracle Mood)
♥ From the onset, deem your Valentine’s Day eco-conscious, and challenge yourself and partner to go about the day with Mother Earth in mind.
♥ Spend the day locally! Leave the car at home and walk to your restaurant, florist, jeweler, spa or hair salon.
♥ While you’re local, purchase your gifts and cards together in one trip!
♥ Purchase eco-friendly and/or fair-trade gifts and accessories like organic candles, handbags, satin/silk lingerie or hemp forever bracelets. Find out if your purchase can assist an environmental equity non-profit organization or protect an endangered species.
♥ Try something new and non-materialistic: name a star in your loved ones name: adopt a piece of the rain forest: make a donation in their name to a poverty eradication initiative.
Do these suggestions spoil the idea of Valentine’s Day? Absolutely not! Think about how many trips you’ve made to pick up the perfect or last minute gift only to have it unappreciated, exchanged or returned. By going together, you will be spending real time with one another and ensuring the satisfaction of the item purchased.

Lady Pink,
are you coming down to Power Shift next week? It's going to be ridiculous. Carol Browner and John Carson just confirmed and we've already got Santogold or Santigold and The Roots lined up. Check us out on Twitter
