Tu’ B’Av

Make it eco-love at first sight! Express your feelings for a significant other during this Israeli Day of Love through eco-romantic gifts!

~Thinking Outside the Gift Box~

When the occasion calls for a gift you can hold, our material suggestions are sustainably bold!

• Whip up a romantic home-made dinner, made with the best local (Local Harvest and Tuv Ha’artetz) and organic foods! Light up the night with beeswax candlelight!
• You can even sign your partner up to receive deliveries of fresh produce from those Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) farms.
• Take a relaxing stroll through a park and have a picnic!
• Write a love song or giddy love letter
• Buy carbon offsets in the recipient’s name!
• Invest in your partner and in renewable energy. Get the 411 on socially and environmentally responsible investing! Then look into buying sustainable stocks or donating to environmental research companies, including Israeli efforts in alternative energy usage such as the Arava Power Company, the Israel Renewable Energy Cooperative, and other renewable energy businesses in Israel!
• Plant a tree for loved one! You can do this in Israel, America, or any country or backyard of your choice!
