Dear Earth Day supporter,
Happy Lunar New Year and almost Valentine’s Day. Whichever holiday you are celebrating, it is a good opportunity to take stock of how you are celebrating. Can your choices make a difference for the planet?
With Valentine’s Day coming up this Friday, you can make more sustainable choices if you buy chocolates or flowers. The chocolate scorecard ranks chocolate brands based on environmental stewardship, child labor and many other points. If roses are your thing, One5C has some alternatives that could make the holiday more sustainable. Of course, you could cook a nice vegan dinner at home and that would be even better. đŸ˜‰ If you must go out, our friends at Red Lentil in Watertown have a Vegan Aphrodisiac Dinner on Valentine’s Day. If you live in the city or want to come in for the night, Lulu Green in South Boston also has a special vegan dinner for Saturday night (Friday is sold out.)
Regardless of what you do, make sure to give the planet and Earth Day Boston a little love. We are about to launch our grant program for schools. Please help us serve as many schools as possible by donating $25, $55, or $250 to support our work.
Sincerely,
Michael Kozuch
President, Earth Day Boston
