Didja know...?

1.) 65% of Americans buy their significant other a greeting card for Valentines days. If you must go along with the other millions, please make sure to buy one made from recycled materials! It should say so right on the back. These days if you recycle, you advertise it.

2.)79% of cut flowers come from Equador and Columbia. (Can a rose get jetlagged?) Ask if your flowers are local.

3.) Yay for Formaldehyde! This scary chemical can be found in the bits of foam that sit at the bottoms of your arrangements of flowers. Ask just to have them cut, then go the extra mile and plant them in some dark or pebbles yourself.

4.)18 karat gold lasts forever, but is it worth it? Every ring produces EIGHTEEN TONS of arsenic, cyanide, and mercury-laced waste. Maybe opt for silver...its usually more flattering anyway.
