Love The Environment

We have definitely been on a love overdose the past few days.  However, even though Valentine’s Day might have come and passed, that does not mean you still shouldn’t show love towards your family, friends and the environment!  Whenever you want to buy flowers, try the option of eco-friendly flowers, they are sweet-smelling, untainted with pesticides or exploitative labor.

You can visit your local farmers market, or, alternatively, order certified organic ones from California Organic Flowers.  In addition, VeriFlora-certified flowers also meet some minimum environmental and social criteria, and are getting easier to find at local retail locations – we have spotted VeriFlora tulips at Trader Joe’s!  You can express your love to all the special people in your life AND to the environment, by making eco-friendly choices.
