If you’re giving chocolates or flowers to someone special this Valentine’s Day, be eco-friendly and give organic and/or fair trade choices. You’ll be promoting sustainable agriculture and better treatment of third-world country workers, while keeping pesticides and herbicides out of the land and waterways.
For information about purchasing, go to The Daily Green Web site: http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/latest/fair-trade-chocolate-organic-chocolate#fbIndex1.
Send green comments, suggestions or questions to gogreen@hvcc.edu.
Red might be the color for Valentine’s Day, but you can go green as well.
