You can have a great celebration with your significant other AND be conscious about our environment.
It’s February – the month of love! And what better way to show our better halves how much we care, than organizing a romantic event, that is both unforgettable and eco-friendly?
We’ve gathered some ideas on what the most romantic day of the year should look like from an environmentally conscious perspective. This is also a great way to adopt new healthy habits, which you can add to your everyday life as well. Here is how to organize an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day.
1. Dinner and a movie at home
We are all used to the classic dating cliche, but why not change it up a bit this year? Instead of making reservations for a fancy restaurant, bring the restaurant at home. If you wish to watch a movie, there are plenty of streaming services at your fingertips.
A cozy and intimate romantic dinner at home for just the two of you. Sounds much better than being stuck in traffic or queueing in front of a restaurant, doesn’t it?
2. The perfect gift
The perfect gift for an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be something big and fancy. DIY crafts are something that is currently taking over the internet. It is also a more special gift, as it contains sentimental value as well.
If you wish to buy flowers, the best practice for an eco-friendly option is always a potted plant, which you can look after for a longer period.
3. Sustainable board games
If you are a new couple that is just getting to know each other, or you just like tabletop games. There are many interesting games designed just for couples, that can make your evening fun and entertaining.
Naturally, board games are made with not-so-eco-friendly materials like plastic, but they are changing for the better.
4. Homemade dinner
As we already discussed, there is nothing more romantic than organizing a cozy private Valentine’s Day event for your significant other.
Of course, we need to make sure that the food we are consuming is healthy and delicious, so this is why we recommend that you find your favorite cooking channel and follow its delicious tips and tricks.
Don’t forget to share it with us in the comment section and let us know which is your favorite recipe.
5. Don’t feel like cooking? We have the perfect dessert for your romantic evening.
Every meal should have its perfect finish. Something sweet and also healthy. This is where we step in, so you can prepare for that as well. Especially if you don’t feel like cooking that much and creating sweets is not your strong side 🙂
