Are you conscious about the environment but don’t know how to find time for such activities? You can even combine it with dating! If both you and your partner care and feel that they want to do something for the environment, then you can plan romantic water-saving activities and do them together. Experts from a popular Denver online dating service gathered this list of water-saving ideas for couples.
Go on a beach cleanup
If you live near the beach and take regular strolls, spend one of your walks picking up any trash you find. You will see that this activity can bring you a lot of fun. What is for sure is that it will be very rewarding to spend time with a sense for both your couple and the whole world.
Go on an excursion to a water treatment plant
In many cities, you can find tours to water treatment plants. If there is no such thing in your city, it can become a great motivation for you to travel! Traveling with your love partner is always a pleasure and traveling with such a high goal as water protection is just fascinating.
Plant a rain garden
A rain garden is a particular garden designed to increase rain runoff reabsorption by the soil. This can be a truly fascinating experience for your couple. First, you will have to read about how to create such a garden and then plant everything together, being a real team.
Go on a kayaking trip
Kayaking is an eco-friendly way of traveling by water, so you can enjoy the water together with no damage to waterways.
Plan a dinner with water conservation in mind
Plan a romantic evening together and cook food using water-saving techniques. Use vegetables and products that require less water to be cooked.
Go to a local water-saving event
These days many communities organize events to raise public awareness about water conservation. It is highly likely that you can find one and attend such an event together. If there are no such initiatives in your neighborhood yet, it’s a great opportunity to organize one then!
Take a water-saving shower together
Taking a shower together is a very romantic thing to do. And thinking about the environment at the same time will make you even happier as this way you not only improve your relationship but also help our environment.
Organize a volunteering project
Apart from collecting rubbish yourself, you can organize a large volunteering project for cleaning a local river or lake. Many people are ready to help you, they are just not aware that such options exist.
Go for a walk to the nearby river or lake
The easiest thing you can do is explore the neighborhood together with your partner. You will see with your own eyes how our environment urgently needs the help of conscious people. When you see it yourself, you get way more motivated to do something to protect water habitats.
Create your own rain barrel
If you have a garden that you need to water regularly, the first thing you can do to save the environment is to make a rain barrel. Rain barrels help you collect rainwater, which you later use for your household needs. It will not take you more than two days to build a barrel, yet the help to the environment will be so precious that it makes sense to invest in this effort. Besides, you will have one more activity to do together with your partner.
Attract the attention of the public to the problem
You can create an eco-friendly water display showing how water protection works. For example, you could use your backyard as a place for a dry riverbed that collects rainwater or a bird bath.
Organize a water-themed art class
Well, you could first go to an art class devoted to some water topic. For example, you could go to a watercolor class and paint a sea landscape. If there are no such initiatives in your town yet, you can be the one to organize them. You can become the hero couple in your community that will start this fight against water waste.
Attend or organize a lecture about water conservation
Check local seminars about water protection. Such lectures can be very insightful and interesting as you will meet many people who think like you and can even find friends.
Write a letter to local officials
Together with your partner, you can study water-related issues in your community and then write a letter to local officials expressing your concerns. Sometimes big changes start with just one person who cares.
