Go green with eco-friendly date ideas

This World Environment Day go green with these seven eco-friendly date ideas. Read to find out ways, you can celebrate the beauty of nature with your love

Sunday is World Environment Day! So what can you do to protect mother nature? Look no further than a date night. Celebrate the night, or your next date night, with some inexpensive outdoor ideas that are fun for you and good for the earth. Who knew protecting the planet could be so easy?

EAT A GREEN DINNER

No, your food doesn’t have to be all green - although that would be pretty impressive! Stop at your local market to pick up fresh produce and cook a meal filled with local eats together. Then head to the balcony to eat outside or head to the nearest park with a picnic blanket. Or, if you’re dining out, go to an organic restaurant nearby

TOSS A FRISBEE

When was the last time you played frisbee? After dinner, head to the backyard or nearest park to play. Bring along some music or invite friends to play, too. It’s free and pretty much guaranteed fun - even if you can’t throw a frisbee to save your life.

WATCH A LOCAL GAME

Walk, bike or take mass transportation to the stadium and cheer on your team in the great outdoors: It’s a Sunday and gulli cricket is always just round the corner. Extra points if you opt for a local beer at the game, too.

PLANT SOMETHING

Tomatoes, rosemary, or sunflowers - take your pick of all you can plant together. Whether it lives on your windowsill or in your garden, it’ll be something you can watch grow (and possibly eat) together.
