Valentines Day

Tomorrow is Valentines Day.
Many people will be giving gifts to the people who they are romantically involved with. Unfortunately, many of these gifts will have travelled great distances.
The chocolates that will be given have a large Carbon Footprint. The beans were picked, and then shipped to a roasting facility, and then shipped again. The traditional Valentines Day roses also travel a great distance.
Rather than give a gift that will hurt the earth, give a gift that will be beneficial. Gift a CSA membership to a local farm. This way, the recipient can receive good, clean food.
And besides, the imported roses will wilt in a few days.
