If you are a conscious person with strong moral values, you probably have already thought about how to minimize your impact on the ecology. Christianity has a great emphasis on serving God and other people, and creatures. Today, we suggest our top ideas that will suit all Сhristian singles looking for some date inspiration.
Go on an eco-picnic
A picnic is a nice activity for all people who want to get to know each other better. But if you want to emphasize your Christian values and take care of nature, make one more step and avoid single-use plastic. You can buy reusable cutlery and plates and take some eco-friendly beeswax wrap for your leftovers. By showing a good example to other people, you can encourage them to treat the environment more wisely as well.
Try stargazing
Stargazing is free and 100% eco-friendly. Take some warm clothes and rugs and go stargazing with your bae. It is a great date activity for several reasons. First, it’s very romantic and any girl would love it. Second, it gives you time to stop, think, and relax – the things we miss so much in our daily life. Third, you literally bring no damage to the environment. And fifth, you get more connected to the Universe and God. Looking at the sky for some time, you will notice that you start to think less about material things and more about the spiritual aspect of reality.
Go hiking
Hiking will give you fresh air and plenty of time to talk with your bae literally about anything that you consider important. You will feel closer to nature and its beauty while conquering some new trails. Plus, this activity does not harm the environment. If you want, you can also collect trash and help to clean the forest.
Take part in a clean-up activity
Christianity is a lot about serving others and God. You can combine these two virtues and help to clean our home – the planet. In addition, doing something good and not selfish together is a nice way to strengthen your relationship and build your goodness. You can check local clean-up events, including cleaning lakes, rivers, forests, and even neighborhoods. If there is no such volunteer group to join in your area, you can create your own and find friends like that.
Plant greenery together
If you are already a couple, try gardening as a couple’s activity. By planting greenery, you contribute to the ecology and make a good eco-friendly step. You can start with kitchen plants and herbs, such as basil or oregano. Though it seems hard at first sight, in reality, planting together is a very funny activity. If you have no house and land, it’s not a problem. Consider window gardening or so-called vertical gardening, which can suit any flat size. In addition, you can make your own eco-friendly pots or buy ceramic ones. Gardening is a nice way to “plant” your love and get reminders about how relationships need care and attention just like flowers do.
Cook a dinner of local vegetables
One more nice way to spend time together is to cook a tasty dinner at home. You can go together to a local shop or market selling farm goods. By buying organic food, you can support people who also care about the environment and grow vegetables in an eco-friendly way. Plan your dinner menu so as to use only local products.
Craft an upcycling good together
Recycling has been a popular way to protect nature for a while. However, there is one more technique that you can do. You can try upcycling! Check the things at home that both of you have and want to get rid of. Take one more closer look. Maybe some of their parts are not that useless. What if you make herb planters from those plastic bottles? Or how about making a cutlery holder and planters out of yesterday’s cans? There are so many upcycling ideas that will suit any level of crafting. Making something creative together is such a rewarding activity, which gets twice more rewarding when you know that you help the planet at the same time.
