Green Your Dating Life

Greening your dating life is a very clever way to not only go more eco, but it also makes you more interesting.

AND it's great for cheapskates too, so even if you aren't green, you might want to check out these ideas. And proceed to call yourself green after you act on them.

There are many things you and your beau of the mo can do. Green dating is all about making sustainable choices.

Ways to green up your dating life: 

  • Go hiking, canoeing or bike riding together
  • Go to the Art Gallery or city Museum
  • Take a long walk
  • Cook at home
  • Go to the park and toss a frisbee
  • Volunteer at a homeless or pet shelter together
  • Pretend to be tourists and visit a place you have always meant to go to like the Botanical Gardens
  • Star gaze together
  • Have an eco-picnic with organic and freshly grown foods
  • Go on a Farm Gate trail - pick up food and wine from producers & meet interesting people

For a twist on the more traditional dating and gift giving options, eat locally, cut some flowers from your garden (or your Mum's), give a plant instead of cut flowers, give organic chocolate or something homemade and fresh.

If you have a fav green date or gift idea, we'd love you to share it!

Science Notes

Sustainable living revolves around the lifestyle choices of only buying or having what you actually need. It’s about not wasting time, money or resources. A sustainable lifestyle aims to reduce the impact we have on our environment.

This is not as hard as it may sound. By going on dates that take you out into nature and not buying materials that have an appeal for only a few minutes you are living more sustainably.
