Timberland Eco-Love Survey 2012: Women More Attracted To Green Behavior

Green singletons pucker up! It looks like you may not be flying solo for long.

Staying true to your eco-friendly values could pay off when it comes to attracting potential mates, according to a new survey.

After conducting an online poll of more than 1,000 men and women age 18 or older in January 2012, the Timberland Eco-Survey revealed more than three-quarters of Americans find eco-minded behaviors an attractive quality in a mate.

Ecosex: cuida el planeta con pasión

Eco- sex o sexo ecologicamente responsable, es una tendencia actual de muchas personas que apoyan las causas ambientales por el uso eficiente de los recursos naturales; muchas practicas que se realizan diariamente en la vida cotidiana generan un uso y aprovechamiento de recursos naturales.

Actualmente existe una tendencia de buscar alternativas que no impacten directamente en los recursos naturales y una de ellas es modificar los patrones tradicionales, sustituyéndolos por alternativas «verdes».

Uno de los pioneros en promover un cambio de actitud a la hora de realizar las practicas en la intimida fue GREENPEACE, quien elaboro una documento titulado«Guia verde para el sexo ecológico»; también existe un libro titulado «Eco Sex»

Eco-friendly florists think locally

A flower arrangement by Christina Stembel of Farmgirl Flowers uses plants and blooms from within a 200-mile radius.

The global cut-flower industry is a multibillion-dollar business, with the United States producing only a fraction of the world’s flowers sold each year. According to the U.S. Labor Education in the Americas Project, more than 80 percent of the flowers produced in Colombia are exported to the United States, and one-third of Ecuador’s yearly production is exported to the United States for Valentine’s Day.

So a little over a year ago when Christina Stembel decided to launch her locally sourced and bicycle-delivered floral service, Farmgirl Flowers, many colleagues thought it would be impossible to alter the habits of flower shoppers looking for bouquets that are inexpensive, attractive and long-lasting.
