Greening Your Dating
By Jenn | June 26, 2008
If you’re single, green, and looking for a pardner, there are now some ways to make an eco-match easier!
————————-
Our favorite LA green blogger Siel repoprted on Green Speed Dating: “For diehard environmentalists who only date people with low carbon footprints, there’s now Green Speed Dating”:
From the Green Speed Dating Meetup: “Single and interested in meeting other Green people? Here’s a great way to meet other people that care about the environment, work in the environmental field, or live a green lifestlye, while supporting a good cause at the same time!”
Any LA greenies try this yet?

Next up is an online dating site which isn’t aiming for a specific genre of members, but simply to make matches and plant trees while doing so– what in the world could possibly be more noble than that?
From datefortrees.com: “DateForTrees.com is pretty much a dating site like many others; we don’t aim at a particular niche and it’s our goal to bring people together. Not very unique or special, right? Except for one important detail which separates us from every other dating site out there: we donate trees!
It’s our goal to not only bring more love to the world, but also help create a greener earth in the form of at least 12.000 trees annually and an increased awareness towards global warming, climate change and deforestation.”

And, of course, there are always the Green Drinks monthly networking events– with all the shiny happy enviros flocking there, perhaps you’ll find a match. The odds are upped after your first drink.

Have ya’ll tried any green dating sites, or other niche matchmaking services? How’d that work for you?

Hey Cat, thanks for the reminder about the veggie dating sites! I’ll admit that I did use veggiedate, once upon a time… no real action (so to speak) for me there, but it’s a great idea! :)
[…] Jenn wrote an interesting post today on Greening Your Dating. Here’s a quick excerpt: […]
many cities also have singles volunteer networks/organizations/opportunities. i suspect that folks who are concerned with the human aspect of sustainability would engage in or be open to other green lifestyle options.
