What's love got to do with it? Love and destruction on Valentine's Day

Love and destruction -- not exactly a romantic pairing on Valentine's Day or any other time of the year. Unfortunately they are indeed an item. The question is whether the two can be separated without ruining the romance.

For starters, flowers are considered a particularly strong expression of love -- but what about the insecticides, fungicides and herbicides used to make them so flawlessly beautiful? And what about the fact that the flowers have been chopped from their roots? "Here my sweetheart --- as a sign of my love --- some cut and poisoned roses." The destruction doesn't end with the harvest. The roses have traveled long distances by air from countries like Ecuador causing air pollution and climate change.
