This Valentine’s Day, let’s show some love—not just to our partners and friends but also to the planet we all share. 🌱💞 From Net Impact to you, we're sharing 5 creative and sustainable ways to make your celebration extra special: - Gift Greener – Swap traditional cut flowers for potted plants or locally grown bouquets. They last longer and have a smaller carbon footprint. - Dine Sustainably – Plan a romantic dinner with local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. Bonus points for cooking together—it’s fun AND eco-friendly! - Thoughtful Tokens – Skip mass-produced items and opt for handmade or upcycled gifts. Write a heartfelt letter or give an experience like a hike, concert, or pottery class instead. - Light the Mood – Use candles made from soy or beeswax for a cozy, low-energy vibe during your evening. - Shop with Care – Support small businesses or brands committed to ethical and sustainable practices when shopping for treats or treasures. ✨ And now, shopping sustainably is even easier! ✨ You can explore our online store, where we’ve curated eco-friendly products that align with our values—and hopefully yours too!

This month, we celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and impact of Black leaders who have shaped our world. From Dr. Robert Bullard, the father of environmental justice, to Wangari Maathai, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning environmentalist, to Lisa Jackson, the first Black woman to lead the EPA—Black changemakers have long been at the forefront of sustainability and social justice. At Net Impact, we honor their legacies and the countless others making a difference today. Let’s celebrate, uplift, and continue building a more just and sustainable future together! #HappyBlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #SustainabilityLeaders #NetImpact
