Valentine’s Day is coming up soon so now is a great time to snag some eco-friendly Valentine’s Day treats. Obviously look for organic treats, GMO-free treats and naturally made local treats and try to avoid the icky stuff like artificial dyes, corn syrup, and other weird added chemicals.
If you can you should also aim for eco-friendly packaging. It’s hard to find green packaging for candy and many other treats but not impossible. Look for packaging that’s recyclable, biodegradable, or minimal. If you can’t find a specific organic treat with eco-packaging your best bet is to buy the largest size possible. Another excellent option is to check out the bulk candy section at your local natural grocer or food co-op. Most of these stores have nice big bulk bins full of natural candy treats.
