a happy couple yesterday
Have you had enough of your partner eating gammon and throwing recyclables in the wrong bin? Well chuck them out and find someone more in tune with your green sensibilities.

If ‘metrosexual’ was the buzzword of the late 90s and early naughties, thanks in part to sensitive sarong-sporting types like David Beckham teaching men to shave properly, then right now ‘ecosexuals’ are all the rage.

That’s right, you no longer have to put up with those grubby little habits as a series of websites have sprung up to help you find a mate who’ll concur that low energy light-bulbs and a wind turbine for the roof are the route to domestic bliss.

It should be pointed out that such services aren’t a new phenomenon. New site greensingles.com, for instance, started life over 20 years ago as a newspaper. But, with the advent of the Internet and more people caring about the environment, the dating market has seen a boom in the number of agencies catering specifically for green-thinking individuals.

Other big names in the eco-conscious dating market include green-passions.com, concernedsingles.com, loveisgreen.org and ewsingles.com (Earth Wise Singles).

So now you’ve got no excuses. Go out find the man or woman of your green dreams and, if you’re a fast mover, you could be sorted by the time Valentine’s Day comes around. Just make sure the card you send is made out of recycled paper.
