No matter if you are listening on February 14th or not, we hope this podcast will offer a new perspective on some of the underlying expectations and environmental impacts of this holiday, while also celebrating all of its good parts! We discuss Valentine’s Day’s gender and consumerist expectations, and the environmental impacts of the classic gifts: chocolate, roses, and diamonds. We also discuss some of our favorite memories from Valentine’s Day, and offer ideas for less impactful gifts to give.
