Green Dating

Ok, so this might not be the most typical topic on "how to go green," but someone just recently brought to my attention the idea of "green dating." I hadn't really thought of something like that, but if two people are devoted to a similar cause, such as going green, that could bring about an initial attraction anyways, and so why not both support something you believe in?

So, how exactly can you "green date" in Columbia, Missouri? Here are some ideas...

Main Squeeze Natural Foods Cafe in Downtown Columbia

Peace Nook in Downtown Columbia staffed by volunteers of Mid-Missouri Peace Works for eco-friendly products

Farmer's Market on Saturdays 8am-Noon March through November

Clovers Natural Market

The Root Cellar off Broadway

Habitat for Humanity

Missouri Humane Society

MKT Trail

Walk around neighborhood

Garden together

Game of outdoor hide and go seek, or capture the flag with friends

Tour the Recycle Plant

shop for TOMS Shoes at Swank Downtown

shop for clothes on factorygreen.com 

Even if you live some where else, and are just visiting the land of 573, you can stay green: these hotels all have a "green" rating:

Comfort Inn Columbia off Clark Lane

Courtyard Columbia off LeMone Industrial Blvd.

Residence Inn Columbia off Woodland Springs Court

These are all just Columbia specific, but there are multiple ideas and options in cities all over the country. There are also hundreds more things to do in Columbia, and we would love to hear if you have any ideas!

Let us know on our twitter @GoGreen573 if you have any other ideas!
