I think that it is a very interesting and amusing article. Practically all its main points are true.

One topic for writing would be the different neighbourhoods across Toronto. In some it’s easy to be green, in others, very difficult. Which ones and what makes them green? That the neighbourhood is “green”, is that convincing people to be green who wouldn’t otherwise have thought of it?

What has been the trigger for people going green? What were some of the biggest surprises (ie, finding out something about shampoo, for example).

I signed up at GreenSingles and if you want I can give you my impressions. Hadn’t heard of it before reading your post. A long time ago I tried LavaLife and gave it up quickly. (Meghan knows who I am.)

While I’m single, I’ve not been looking, but I am curious if GS is just like every other dating service or if it’s honest. (I’d assume with the green theme there should be less silliness.)

Hi Vanessa, here are some topic suggestions:
* you could write about small groups of people who gather to discuss green stuff (you could do some research and find groups in different countries around the world, that can be quite inspiring to people like me -I’m from Argentina). Write about groups of ppl who gather to solve specific problems, and those who just want to greenify their lives…
*write about some big green accomplishments which are unknown to most people (in which people opposed to a source of contamination, for example). Again, I’d like to read about things that happened all around the world!
*write about how non-green corporations make their way into culture even in somewhat ancient traditions (I read a few years ago, about a tribe in Amazonas who now uses Coke bottles in their rituals… that’s interesting! – And scary).

I’ll write more suggestions if something else comes up. I hope you get the ideas, but if something’s not clear, e-mail me!
BTW I LOVE reading you.

I’ve always enjoyed reading whatever you felt like writing, Vanessa; I think you just have a way of making the mundane sound more exciting than one might imagine.

Topic-wise, I wouldn’t mind reading about the period when you went off to write the book somewhere. I’d also like to hear about how you like/don’t like the new house you bought, more stories about living where you live (for us USAns), working where you work, other stuff which may/may not seem related to environmentalism at first glance [thinking back to how you turned my collar to the coral reef exhibit in Chicago, which I toured on my next trip there, BTW). I’d stay away from food topics; seems like everyone is talking about food these days.

Hey Vanessa,
Have just started reading your website. (It was mentioned in “Hot, Flat and Crowded”)
I didn’t even know there was such as thing as a Green Dating website. That’s kind of cool. And I have to disagree with the comment above, being open is one thing, but there are certain ‘issues’ that most certainly get in the way of a relationship. It’s nice to know going in that a person has similar committments as you to the environment, and thinks a certain way. I can think of lots of issues that could get in the way of ‘love’.
That said, I would be happy to be interviewed, although I have not used the sites yet, I am going to now that I know about them and since I am single.
I live in Guelph, Ontario, so that makes me Canadian too!
By the way, are you single?
Jeff
