Sustainable Date Night Ideas: a Green Valentine's Celebration

February 12, 2024

Valentine's Day is one holiday that gets tons of weight placed on it. It's all about love, and love can be tricky. And going green on top of that? It can be even trickier. After all, it's a lot easier to pick up something from a chain store because it's so widely available. Going green doesn't have to be tricky, though. This Valentine's Day, there's a lot of ways you can go green. Check out our blog on Sweet Surprises: Top Valentine’s Gift Ideas For Her & Him. Today, it's all about date nights and the ways you can be eco-friendly. There's not much to it. All you need is a little imagination and a desire for something a little outside the box.

Go for a Long Walk

Every city or town has a scenic location to offer. And if not in your city, you're bound to find one only one or two cities over. There's so much to take in when you explore your local landscapes. It's fun to get a bit lost in your surroundings, and even more fun when you're getting lost with someone you love. It's also a great time for relaxed conversation. There's no hustle and bustle of a restaurant and no silence that comes with checking out a movie in theaters. Just you and your significant other, alone in nature, talking and experiencing the beautiful view.

Cook or Bake Sustainably

There's no limit to what you and your significant other can get up to in the kitchen. Go vegan and organic. Pick up fresh produce from your local market, pick out a recipe, and get creative. The act of buying produce can also count as part of your date, plus eating dinner together. A three for one kind of deal. Cooking and baking are also great bonding activities, because they require lots of patience.It will give you the perfect opportunity to collaborate and spend time with one another.

DIY Down Time

Who said date night couldn't also be productive? What better way to go green than to upcycle together. Just like cooking and baking, it's a great bonding exercise and it can be loads of fun. Hop on over to the thrift store, pick up some necessary arts and crafts supplies, and take the time to just relax and work on your projects. You could have a glass of wine and enjoy some snacks. You could even have a little picnic.

Have a Q&A Session

Have you ever wondered what your partner’s favorite memory with you is? Or perhaps what they liked most about you when you first met? All you need is a quick Google search to find a list of questions to ask them. It’s a fun way to get to know them better and it also doesn’t create any waste.

We hope this gives you some ideas for your green Valentine’s celebration.
