Valentine's Day is coming up in only a couple of weeks on Wednesday Feb. 14th.   It has become a special holiday when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. It is also called St. Valentine's Day, originating as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine.

The holiday has expanded to express affection between relatives, classmates, co-workers, and friends.  It has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

We asked ourselves the question “how can we enjoy Valentine’s Day without adding more harmful waste to the landfills and ultimately to the ocean?”. We did a little research and found that our favorite plastic advocates had already done the work.  What better way to demonstrate your love than to celebrate with kindness to our planet.

We McSisters wish you a very happy plastic free Valentine’s Day!
