Show your love with eco-loving Valentine gifts that care for your loved ones AND the planet! Here are our Top 5 favorite, earth-loving gifts from around the globe:
Chocolate by Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC)
Mmm, chocolate that’s delicious and good for the planet!
ESC‘s mission is clear – provide premium chocolate that has a positive impact on Earth’s species, habitat, and humanity.
Every chocolate bar prominently features an endangered animal with details about the species status. ESC carefully sources its chocolate to honor your health and the health of our planet with certifications from the Rainforest Alliance (protects environmental, social and economic sustainability), Non-GMO Project, USDA Organic, Gluten Free, Vegan Action, and Orthodox Union Kosher.
And, their “extreme dark” (i.e. greater than 88% cocao) chocolate is some of the best tasting on the market and one ounce per day is recommended for good health! ESC also donates 10% of net profits to species and habitat conservation. In addition, the Company ethically sources its chocolate from small cacao co-ops that employ sustainable farming practices which help ensure humane working conditions! www.chocolatebar.com
Jewelry from Global Girlfriend
All women-made, fair trade products with the goal to dream big and change lives! Each item you purchase funds a seed money micro-grant through Camfed (Campaign for Female Education). The grants then help a woman in Africa launch a small business venture to support herself and her family.
Most noteworthy — our favorite choice for eco-friendly accessorizing includes the Healing Hearts stretch bracelet made from recycled magazine paper and $.50 of every purchase supports health care of children in need.

Plantable Flowers
Who doesn’t love a Valentine’s Day classic? — a dozen red roses! Beautiful and romantic but when they only last days or weeks, the sentiment and nature’s beauty are quickly lost and resources wasted!
This year try a potted plant or flower bulb so your love can “grow” in the coming months. What’s more romantic than that?!
All of these eco-loving Valentine gifts are sure to show your passion for people and planet. Enjoy!!
