Valentine's Day is celebrated worldwide by many couples. To mark the date, many of them choose to offer gifts to their better half, which can often result in gifts that are not very environmentally friendly. Chocolates wrapped in plastic, flowers imported from far away countries, soft toys made from non-recyclable materials are some of the gifts that may have consequences for the planet.
