i'm curious as to how many blacks will speak on this topic. "green" is not something that is a top priority to the average black in america.

to F3ralanarchy, you apparently don't know what you're talking about nor have an understanding of black people in America. I am a black woman, who remembers as a child my parents (as I was raised by both who were married) recycled newspapers and bottles in the '70s. As a young adult I separated plastics, paper, etc., using the appropriate color bag when setting it out during the '80's. I've recycled goods, clothing, planted trees and floweres, attended Earth Day events; and can say that I've always experienced other blacks doing the same things. Conservation is a mind set and genuine concern for the world we live in, for the ecosystem, for our future; and appreciation for life. Your comment conveys your self assumed superiority over blacks. Perhaps if you were not so shallow yourself, and took more time getting involved than judging, then perhaps you'd truly learn what black people value.

ummmmm valerie zoe. unless you actually checked i am black. second i am also into the eco-green movement. what you are conveying is information that is in the mindset of a very VERY small percentage of black people in america. what you also have to remember is like minded people flock together. if you belong to a black conservationist group then of course ALL THE BLACK FOLKS YOU TALK TO WITHIN THAT GROUP ARE GOING TO BE LIKE YOU!. want to understand why i made my comment. ask 10 people that you know who are not part of your conservation circle what is the "green" movement about in america and see out of those 10 how many even come close to talking about anything eco-friendly.

Ha F/ing ha, I think you are funny and mean well...I would recommend being a bit less sophmoric and more serious about lol, the problems we all face and not being so blunt because people sometimes miss the compassion and frustration behind your very direct approach to humor....just kind of take it easy earth to ya'all slow down...smaller simpler doses....so we can all catch up...smiles, H

I understand "Going Green" it been around for awhile just a different term "Recycling"
Why not tall women with butts, either way I love them :-)

What I like most about your article is the suggestion that we can take ownership of a project and make it happen. You mentioned organizing a possible interracial speed dating event. It's funny. I and I'm sure many others think of the other person being the one to plan such activities. Well...hey...it's a matter of seeing what needs to be done, taking it in hand and doing it. Thanks for the idea!

Why not Tall women who like short men? So many seem to be CLOSE-minded. They claim to be 'open-minded' by dating another race but no,most tall women won't even give a short guy a chance.I tire of reading of women who are 5'3" looking for guys over 5'10.

@f3ralanarchy: the green movement is alive in the black community. Google Sustainable South Bronx, Green Jobs For All, Majora Carter, Damali Ayo,African American Environmentalists Association, and Solar Richmond, just to name a few.
@peacelover: As a tall woman, I prefer dating men taller than me mostly because I feel it creates a "balance" with my independent, aggressive nature. There are women who do not have a preference for height. Keep looking!

Wish we had speed dating in Nebraska...

This site is so welkown in the world.
If they could organise sometimes trips in some countries , that will help those who have friends overseas to get in contact without spending lot of money to travel
or even with some travel tour agent in some countries. Single Ladies and single men would get opportunity to meet people in those countries and many wont be afraid to date overseas.
I'm in Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa
and my place is really beautiful !

Hey where can I sign up?

Love the idea! A "interracial-green-pet-loving-tall guys who love short women with big butts" speed dating event.. is the perfect event for Indy during Earth Week. I will be hosting this project. We African Americans 8 out of 10 in the midwest have long listened to our elders who in the 40s, 50s, and 60s preached "WASTE NOT WANT NO". I for one have never wanted. Count us in as greenies!! Love/Peace Kind Regards, Nano

I've heard of speed dating before and was totally amazed to discover that most participants enjoyed the experience. Many of the reports I read from past events by participants indicated that there was no love connection. Nevertheless, each seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the events. It seems like it's definitely worth a try.

Speed dating always sounded a little crazy to me. "What's the rush?", I always thought.
I guess though the truth is that you know if you are attracted to someone almost immediately in a lot of cases. And if the room was filled with like-minded individuals on one level or another their would be an increased likelihood that the person to whom I am attracted would have more in common with me to sustain a relationship beyond the heat of the moment.

You know, I've given this some further thought and it really makes some good sense. Getting a group of singles together in a chat room and then moving it to a real location the next week to see if any virtual magic could transfer to the real world would be fun if nothing else.
