The national day of love is right around the corner. When planning the ways you’ll profess your feelings (whether for a partner, parent or friend), make sure you’re also taking Mother E into consideration. Here’s a round-up of Valentine’s Day cards that beat true red, while holding steadfast to our stringent green criteria – but be forewarned, they’re not all mushy-gushy on the inside!

	Binth “Sucker” Card: When whispering sweet nothings doesn’t get the point across, try sending a more direct message. Screen-printed on recycled white stock, this card is sure to garner a response ($4.25).
	Good On Paper “You + Me” Card: Rekindle that schoolyard flame – you can even add a “check yes or no” box on the back. Printed on recycled paper using vegetable-based inks ($4.75).
	Night Owl Paper Goods “Otter Love” Card: New prints from an old favorite – we absolutely love everything from Night Owl Paper Goods, but this adorable otter card (reads: “there’s other fish in the sea, but you otter be with me”) is at the top of our list this year. Card is made of eco-friendly, sustainably harvested birch ($6).
	Botanical Paperworks Plantable V-Day Card: For a love that will continue to grow – this sweet card can be planted and will actually sprout up as wildflowers later in the season! Made of 100% post-consumer waste, embedded with high-grade pure North American wildflower seeds ($4.95).
	Seltzer Goods “V-Day Fangs” Card: For the love that’s eternally yours. Printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper using veggie-based inks ($3.50).
	Positively Green Card: When you really want to let someone know how truly important they are, this quote from George Elliot says it perfectly: “Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul to another.” Printed with soy ink on FSC certified 100% recycled stock ($2.95).
	Fugu Fugu Press “Love You Bird” Card: If you feel like singing about your love from the treetops, but know that your tone-deaf voice may not be the best way to woo your valentine, let this songbird card send the message instead. Printed on 100% recycled paper using soy-based ink ($5.00).
	Hard Cards “Be Mine” Valentine: No matter the occasion, we know we’ll find ourselves rolling over in laughter with anything from Hard Cards. The inside of this seemingly affectionate card reads: “And I mean MINE. So help me if you so much as look at another person I will rip your eyeballs out. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Made on 100% post-consumer waste paper, using soy-based inks ($3.50).
