When the Environmental Working Group tested a sampling of roses in 1997, it found residues of pesticides at up to 50 times the amounts permitted in food. Now even though you probably weren't planning to feed roses to your honey this Friday (though we pass no judgment if you were), there are still plenty of reasons to search out other blooms as you celebrate Valentine's Day. (One darn good reason is the detrimental effects that those pesticides have on farm and greenhouse workers in developing countries, where most roses are grown.) To help you sort out the good V-Day gifts from the bad, Grist is proud to announce the reintroduction of "Earthly Possessions," our consumer advice column. This month, learn about the greenest of bouquets and which chocolates you can buy to satisfy both the tooth of your sweetie and your conscience, only on the Grist Magazine website.
