Make homemade candy hearts with your sweetheart this Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. This year, why not show some love to the earth as well as your sweetheart? You can have a romantic Valentine’s Day without putting any extra strain on the earth.

1. Cook a meal at home. Not only will cooking at home save money, but you’ll have more control over the quality of your food. Substitute organic produce, naturally raised meat and local ingredients. For a romantic meal, try one of these recipes.

2. Drink organic wine. No romantic celebration is complete without wine. This year splurge a little and get a bottle of organic wine. Organic wine doesn’t cost that much more. Many organic wines are grown and bottled in the U.S., meaning your wine won’t have to travel as far to get to you.
