Plan a Plant Date
Grow something together and get crafty. Plant seeds or seedlings at a community garden or in pots that you have decorated with eco-friendly art supplies.
Stargazing
Lay under the stars as you connect and enjoy each other's company. Take in romantic and peaceful views of the night's sky.
Ice skating

Quiz
You're planning an eco-friendly first date. Which of the following ideas would you consider? Select all that apply.
Visiting the farmers' markets and going on a planting date are great ways to support local vendors who sell organic produce and promote sustainable living practices. Coffee tasting might not be the most eco-friendly choice, as you might not be able to find out if the beans were sourced by sustainable methods. And of course, any date where you don't have to use a car is better for the environment.
