Somewhere, probably in the Guardian or Comment is Free or as a press release from one of the puritanical environmental groups, there will be an article about how Valentine’s Day is not only a commercial aberration but it is also destroying the world. The CO2 emissions from growing and transporting all those flowers around the world will be criticised, the waste of all those cards which are sent. The romantic holidays which are taken when people could just stay at home.
I’m not sure whether there will be calls to ban Valentine’s day, or to tax roses, but I’m sure we’ll all be told to don our hair shirts.
(also consider this a reminder if you’d forgotten!)
