Green Tip of the Week
Show your loved ones you care about the environment. This Valentines Day, buy valentines printed on recycled paper. Buying recycled paper saves trees and energy. You may also want to consider a valentines donation to an organization that plants trees and works to protect our forests. It’s less fattening and longer lasting than a box of chocolates.
