On Valentine’s Day, we often say ‘love is in the Air’ and that was exactly the case in Liverpool, albeit love of a different kind. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise visit to various charity organizations on Valentine’s Day. She visited the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, a home for parents of critically-ill children  and the The Brink Bar; a place for recovering alcoholics.

This is the Kate’s first public outing outside of London without her partner Prince William. Incidentally, he was 8000 miles away working as a RAF search and rescue pilot in Falklands; where he is posted at the moment for six weeks. In-spite of being unable to be together on such a romantic day, Prince William played his part as the doting husband to perfection. He sent some beautiful flowers and a card to greet his wife in the morning. The princess is making use of the available time to warm into the role of a working royal.

While we have gone green for everything from grocery bags to huge buildings, why make Valentine’s Day an exception? The tradition of Valentine’s Day is red but get a little bit of the trend too by going green.

Millions celebrate this day with their loved ones by exchanging gifts, sending chocolates and flowers. But what they don’t notice is that, how much Mother Earth gets affected because of this seemingly harmless tradition.
