(CNSNews.com) - Why say it with flowers, when you could send your love a shrub?

The Environmental Protection Agency is offering Americans "Tips for February Fun," encouraging them to think outside the flower box on Valentine's Day.

On one of the busiest days of the year for florists, the EPA says Americans should consider buying long-lasting silk flowers, potted plants, or live bushes, shrubs, or trees that can be planted in the spring.

I suggest that everyone send the EPA “stink weeds” for Valentines Day. They are durable, can be replanted and every time you break a stem or leaf you get an odor reminiscent of an EPA rule or Bill Maher tirade.

Recycled rodent greeting cards for Valentines Day? Just when you think that there’s nothing in the world anyone could send Nancy Pelosi on Valentines Day, up comes a great idea.
Ohhhhhh......recycled content. Dang glasses.

I’ll make you a deal EPA. I’ll plant 20 shrubs around my property in your honor if you promise to leave my coal-powered electricity plant alone. What say?

First the coal industry now put the floral industry out of business? Maybe give the work to children in 3rd world sweatshops.

Is the EPA recommending we buy fake flowers?

Made by crippled children in 3rd world sweatshops.
