Valentine's Day, like many holidays, can be an event surrounded with over-consumption. As waste-aware Edmontonians, Master Composter Recyclers have great ideas to keep waste at a minimum while still making the holiday a special time.
Looking for inspiration? Check out Kristin's interview with the Weather Network.

someday i'll have a valentine to spoil rotten with a dinner at some fab local resto.....till then i'll just have to wipe away my tears with my reusable cloth hankie, and dream of the day i have a sweetie to call my own!

No roses! No purchased cut flowers, ever, actually. I cannot think of much more wasteful - they wilt and die no matter what you do! And ever since flying over the fields of flowers in Colombia I've been horrified at the waste of daily flights to ensure those flowers are fresh-cut.
ReplyDeleteInsteadmy spouse and I favour some experience together. Many years we stay in and make heart-shaped pizzas from scratch. With him cooking the sauce and me rolling the dough there're lots of opportunity for connection.
Thanks for your great ideas. We'll be sharing them all for Valentines Day next year. Congrats to Roger for winning the prize!
