We just said goodbye to the holiday season, but as you can see from looking around the stores, Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it.

Many gifts that are given eventually end up in a landfill. And cut flowers have a very short lifespan.

However, you can give your loved one something special this holiday that can also be thoughtful for the environment.

  • A potted plant can be a great alternative to flowers. It can live for decades oppose to days.
  • Plant a tree or shrub together. This is a great way of marking your love for many years. You could even place a message next to the sapling to make it more personal.
  • Gift an experience. There is nothing better than a gift that will include lasting memories, so plan a romantic trip to the beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Just remember to practice the Leave Only Footprints guidelines when visiting.

Spread the green love this year and make not only your significant other happy, but the environment as well!
