Running out of date ideas? Are you tired of the usual dinner and movie night outs? Why not impress your special someone by having an eco-friendly date? Aside from having a fabulous time together, a green inspired activity is a great way to minimize damage to the environment.

Here are some clean and green date activities to help you pull off a fun and earth-friendly date:

Forget the car – A little sacrifice goes a long way. While driving is convenient, it creates air pollution. Try walking tours instead and save on fuel consumption while partaking the beauty of your local architecture. Plus, you can lose some calories, too. If walking is such a pain, then opt for public transportation, such as buses and trains. Or better yet, take the bike, which is the most eco-friendly way to get around.

Dine at a local restaurant – Green your dining options, too! Browse your local events guide and check for restaurants in your area that practices green hospitality and cook meals using lesser energy consumption. You can also look for a dining establishment that supports local agriculture or serves organic cuisine.

Visit the farmers market – As going to the farm is rather inconvenient, instead, meet your date on a Saturday morning at a local farmers market and shop for some homegrown produce. Try an organic wine, bread or cheese if you please. A lot of farmers markets are popping up in communities, and visiting one is a wonderful way to support the local agriculture. You will be even surprised to know that these farmers markets not only offer a wide selection of the freshest and luscious fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, but they also have delectable recipes to share!

Have an earth-friendly picnic at the park – With all those locally grown products you bought, you should consider planning a green picnic at the park. Stay away from plastic utensils and other disposables. Bring your favorite china, silverware, wine glasses, and cloth napkins instead. Whip up some fresh salads, sandwiches, a bottle of wine; pack them neatly in stainless steel food containers, and you’re all set for a hearty meal. Spread the tablecloth or blanket; get cozy and enjoy the fresh air.

Give back to the community – Pledge your date time to a local non-profit organization. You and your significant other can either support a cause by donating or volunteering. For instance, you can serve meals at a soup kitchen or help out a retirement facility. Most big cities also have green projects that you can be part of. Just find something you both enjoy, and beneficial for the community.

Check out the outdoors – What is green dating without heading outdoors? The best earth-friendly date is involving Mother Nature! And your options are simply infinite-hiking, swimming, rafting, skiing, kayaking, sailing, surfing are all fantastic green date ideas that allow you to enjoy nature’s beauty, and each other!

If you are into green living, arrange a perfect date that minimizes carbon footprint and contributes to earth preservation. Just refer to the green dating ideas above, and surely, your date will appreciate you even more. And he or she might be inspired, too, to start a green lifestyle!

In recent times, eco-friendly weddings have become all the rage. Although you may want to entirely go the lavish way on your wedding day, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be a bit more considerate to mother Earth. And, environmentally friendly weddings can be a lot of fun. Think green! Think pebbles straight out of a Zen garden! Beautiful picture isn’t it? If you plan to go in for a green wedding, you can get really innovative in almost every area when planning you wedding day. Read on to get a better idea about what we are really talking about!

Invitations

Your wedding invitations could be made from 100% recycled paper available in beautiful and rich textures. You’ll find a wide variety to choose from in India itself. Get these cards printed using vegetable inks such as a soy-based ink or water-based inks if you want to go all out to help preserve the beauties of nature!

Wedding Décor

You can get really creative in this area of wedding planning. Transform your wedding venue into a lush paradise using lots of fresh flowers, pebbles and earthy, organic materials for your drapes, table cloth, napkins and tents. Or if your partner and you are really hell-bent on reducing your carbon footprint due to the wedding, why not host it in a garden or park, and go in for a garden themed wedding. Perfect for those getting married in Spring!

Spread some light and create an ambient glow at your wedding by lighting up bees-wax candles and tea-lights all over the place to complete the look of your eco-friendly wedding.

Wedding Favors

There are many “green” ideas when it comes to deciding your wedding favors. After all the merriment, let you guests leave on an eco-conscious note by giving away a mini potted plant or a packet of seeds. The pot holding the plant can be customized to match your wedding theme and so can the packet of seeds.  How about a pack of natural bamboo coasters? Or even a beautiful bee’s wax candle. The sky is the limit here as you can get very innovative in this area when planning your great Indian wedding.

Catering

You can never get as green as you would want to in the catering section of your wedding. Besides the feast of a many non-vegetarian dishes, why not have an additional section that has soy-based foods, lots of salads etc.

Green Honeymoon

And finally, plan your honeymoon and head to some place natural rich in wildlife and lush greenery. Perhaps a beach? Or the country side? Or maybe even to an eco-sanctuary. There are many found in Rajasthan in India. You’ll find a lot of options to book your honeymoon on the Internet.
