Valentine's Day is for loving those who matter most in your life. So in the spirit of our constant love for our planet, we're celebrating this day by sharing a few ways to send a little extra love to your Mother (Earth).

1) Swap one household item from disposable to reusable. For example, trade in a roll of paper towels for a cloth rag (bonus points if you repurpose an old t-shirt).

2) Get this week's groceries from your local Farmer's Market (psst: don't forget to bring your own bags).

3) Cook yourself a delicious plant-based meal. We're suckers for a good mushroom risotto or a creamy butternut squash linguine like this one.

4) Make Valentine's Day cards with old materials lying around your house. (Hint: we've even got a blog on it)

5) Clean up your local park or hiking trail by collecting a few pieces of trash on your next outing. It’s a double whammy — you’ll feel good doing it and your community will thank you.

6) Save precious resources by shortening your shower or biking instead of fueling up your car. She’s got a lot to give but it’s on us to save finite resources for future generations.

XO,

Team Toad
