Environmentally friendly dating
People who are very passionate about nature and the environment often have a hard time finding a date that is just as interested in these kinds of issues.
One Los-Angeles based website tried to find a solution to this problem by introducing a "green" speed-dating event for the first time.
About sixteen singles showed up for this carbon-neutral event that was held on the beach. However the event got off on the wrong foot from the start as most of the singles drove cars to the event with one showing up in a Land Rover.
Of course, the manager from downtown Los Angeles claimed he was trying to sell the gas guzzler but was having no luck. He also mentioned that he drove it rarely over short distances and was very active in other environmental causes.
The Earth lovers were met with an assortment of veggies and fruits. This speed dating event managed to leave out some of the discomfort of regular speed-dating as e-mail addresses instead of phone numbers were exchanged.
The most green person at the event was Francois Jaquet who did not own a car and usually walked to get around. He didn't find anybody "green" enough for his tastes.
