Love is In the Air
Ah, Valentine’s Day. A day of love… and a multi-billion dollar gift giving industry. Despite the current global pandemic putting a damper on things, it’s estimated that consumers will still spend an average of $164.76 on their loved ones. I’d like to encourage you think about sustainable gift options!
Your celebrations are likely going to look a whole lot different this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate LOVE. And here at Sustainably Motivated, we love our Earth. So take a moment today to tell the people in your life you love them, and don’t forget to say Happy Valentine’s Day to Mother Earth too!
A Valentine’s Day Poem for the Planet
Roses are red,
The ocean is blue.
This Valentine’s Day,
Give our planet some love too!
Why not skip the roses,🌹
And plastic-wrapped candy.
These over-used symbols
Really aren’t that dandy.
There are so many options,
Like fair-trade, organic,
and locally-grown,
From your neighborhood botanic.
So save the trip to the store,🛍️
And make a card of your own.
Pour thoughts onto paper,
That aren’t a clone.
Take-out is nice,
But home-cooked is charming.
Especially when, ingredients
Support local farming.
A gift of 50 trees,🌲
The best positive affirmation.
Because what says ‘I love you‘
More than reforestation?🌳🌳🌳
In the midst of a pandemic
That left us without mirth,
This Valentine’s Day 💕
Let’s send love to our Earth. 🙏
Share the Love
