I guess I must like Valentine’s Day, because I’ve written quite a few posts about it! Or maybe I just like chocolates and the color red. A roundup to a socio-environmentally conscious Valentine’s Day:

Flowers: Pick from 4 green options — local, organic, fair trade, or VeriFlora certified. For the curious, here are the main differences between VeriFlora and fair trade certification.

Chocolate: Try some of these new organic, fair trade SLO Chai Chocolates, or pick from one of these reasonably-priced organic, fair trade chocolate gifts. Always opt for fair trade chocolates: Here’s a two-parter (one, two) on why you should.

Gifts: Whether you’re flush with cash or low on funds, greening your Valentine’s Day’s easy to do. Here’s a green Valentine’s Day guide for both big spenders and cheapskates.

Wine: Biodynamic and organic wine tasting 2/6. Celebrate Valentine’s Day early with a Pre-Valentine’s Day Biodynamic and Organic Wine Tasting. Boule and Wine Expo have put together a six-course tasting, pairing biodynamic/organic sparkling wines and dessert wines with Boule’s sweet treats, handmade with local sustainable ingredients.

Activism: Make Valentine’s Day a fair trade day of action.
