My husband and I actually came at the whole thing from opposite sides. He was a meat eating, littering, ex Catholic, anti-hippy carnivore. I was the vegetarian, boot stomping, hitch-hiking kid, experimenting with social behaviors.

Now, 14 years of marriage later, I think I rubbed off on him. He's now vegetarian, free trade, and eco conscious all the way. It did take some serious boundary establishment at first, though, and it's not to say I didn't change in his direction too. I don't hitchhike, or take part in any illicit liberation activities to suit my political views anymore.

I think it's great to find sites to hook up with folks that have the same core values, but if you really do love each other you will find you drift closer to the center, anyways.

My next goal is to get him on a bicycle, and give up his car. It's a long range sneaky plan.

Honesetly, I thought that was a retarded and superficial article. It's basically harmless but I really think we should be advocating deeper thought than this!

My wife and I met the old fashioned way: On a "Traditional" Internet dating service.
We have both evolved in our greenness together. We find that we have the innate impulse to move green. In past relationships we might have let those impulses take a back seat. Together we feed off of each other's desire to do more to help the planet each day.

the boyfriend at i met my first day at a new job, he spent my first week there staring at me with a goofy look on his face and we started talking. we were both into punk rock and green party voters, after we moved in together i got greener and greener and he went vegetarian, then he got greener and greener and i went vegetarian, now were both eco-concious veggies. we spent this friday night happily reading labels at the supermarket, and he bagged the groceries in our canvas totes while i paid.

My husband found me on an online transportational bicycling forum. I was working for the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition at the time, and he was a member. He made for a very dedicated volunteer for the organization while he was courting me :-)

I think he liked me mostly because I offered him an escape from his boring and repressive SUPPIE life (a suburban YUPPIE) he'd been trapped in, and I gave him an excuse to use his geeky skills to make all sorts of environmentally friendly contraptions! You know, that whole idea of happiness being challenge plus meaning? I'm still waiting for him to build me my ecohouse and farm, but I've already got a small urban solar panel system, and he built me a small greenhouse for the back yard at one of the places we lived, using only some reclaimed plastic sheeting and some cheap alluminum tubing. And he's a Freecycle whiz, getting us one of those fancy Italian front-loading super efficient washer/dryers, and countless other fun and sustainable things that others wanted to get rid of. One of our favorite dates is to talk a walk around the neighborhood and trashpick.

He's not completely vegetarian yet, but he's moving in that direction slowly, which will be good for me, because it means that it's less likely that I'll accidentally grab the cow's milk and distractedly take a big gulp of it when I'm really aiming for the apple cider or almond milk. Now that's embarrassing (and really gross) for a strict vegaratian!

You might want to check out the always free verbdate.com as it was started on the west coast in Vancouver and has plenty of tree lovers and such on the site. You can speak with voip for free too!

Of course none of this expounds on how one gets a date with Graham. ;)

Ah, and the reason for that, Chey, is that Graham's heart is already spoken for (assuming that you are referring to our illustrious leader.) Tho', as they say in the classics, he does have a brother!

I think you do need to date someone similar and it's a good idea. I dated a vegan eco warrior, and although I moved more towards the centre, he kept shifting the goal posts and headed further to the extreme edge. Now I think he'd be much better off dating someone like him, through somewhere like one of these sites, because then the person doesn't feel like an eco-project and that he / she can never do right. I was never quite green enough.

I am much greener now though! And far more aware of environmental issues. Which is down to him.
