How Green Is That...Bouquet?

摘要

Doing the traditional flower bouquet for a loved one or two this Valentine's Day? Take a little extra time to ensure that it's been grown without harming people or the planet. On a local level, look for bouquets bearing VeriFlora certification from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. That means the flowers support healthy ecosystems and fair wages for workers. Or you can search for the perfect buds from these green online retailers: Organic Bouquet: Buy a bunch of roses, daisies or other blooms ($39.95-$74.95) from Organic Bouquet's Flowers for Good? program and you'll not only support USDA-certified growers and fair trade working conditions worldwide, but 5% of your purchase will go to support a charity cause.
